How to use it

LinkedIn recommends 15 to 30 seconds. Most of the feed scrolls muted, so burn in captions or upload an SRT file.

Pick the shape for where the audience is. 16:9 is native on desktop; 1:1 and 4:5 take more of a phone screen; 9:16 runs on mobile only.

All LinkedIn formats are on LinkedIn ad sizes. For what B2B advertisers run, the LinkedIn ads library and the video ads collection.
