Why Captions Are Non-Negotiable on LinkedIn
LinkedIn research shows 85% of LinkedIn video is watched without sound. Unlike TikTok or Instagram Reels, LinkedIn is often browsed in a workplace context — open offices, meetings, commutes. If your video only delivers value through audio, you lose 85% of your potential audience.
LinkedIn supports SRT caption file uploads directly. Add captions to every video. Beyond accessibility, captions increase watch time because viewers who can't turn on audio can still follow along and choose to engage.
