What's the ideal length for LinkedIn video clips?

30-90 seconds performs best. LinkedIn's algorithm favors watch-through rate, and shorter clips naturally have higher completion rates. For complex topics, stay under 2 minutes.

Should I post vertical or square video on LinkedIn?

Square (1:1) is the safest bet because it renders well on both desktop and mobile. Vertical (9:16) works well on mobile but looks odd on desktop. If your audience skews mobile, go vertical. If mixed or desktop-heavy, go square.

Do LinkedIn video clips help with SEO?

Yes. LinkedIn pages and posts often rank in Google search results. A clip titled "How We Grew to $5M ARR" with good post copy can rank for related search terms. LinkedIn's domain authority is extremely high.

How many clips can I get from one podcast episode?

A typical 45-60 minute podcast yields 8-15 clip-worthy moments. Not all will work for LinkedIn — prioritize insights and tactical advice over casual banter. See our [podcast clipping guide](/blog/how-to-clip-podcast-for-social-media) for more.

Should I use LinkedIn's native captions or burn them in?

Always burn in your captions. LinkedIn's auto-captions are inconsistent and you can't control styling, timing, or accuracy. Burned-in captions look more professional and ensure your message is readable.

Can I post the same clips on LinkedIn that I post on TikTok?

You can, but they'll likely underperform. TikTok clips tend to be faster-paced, more casual, and use flashier captions. For LinkedIn, re-edit with a professional caption style, consider square format, and rewrite the post copy for a professional audience.
