LinkedIn Shares Video Tips

LinkedIn is pushing video, and they’ve shared some tips for how to perform.

As everywhere, authenticity and repeatability are outperforming polished production. Creators who win on LinkedIn are building recognizable systems, not one-off viral posts.

Some things to consider:

  • Start with expertise you already have. The best-performing videos are rooted in real experience and a clear point of view. Industry commentary, lessons learned, and simplified trend breakdowns perform well because they feel credible and practical.
  • Consistency matters more than perfection. LinkedIn recommends posting 2–5 times weekly, with 1–2 video posts. Sustainable cadence beats sporadic high-production content.
  • Series-based content is becoming the dominant format. Repeatable frameworks create familiarity and audience retention. Named formats (“How I Did It,” “Pick Up the Tab,” etc.) make content easier to scale and easier for audiences to recognize.
  • Behind-the-scenes content builds trust. Audiences increasingly respond to process transparency rather than polished outcomes. Showing workflows, planning, scripting, and execution creates credibility.
  • Native LinkedIn video is being prioritized. Vertical, mobile-friendly uploads appear to receive stronger placement in LinkedIn’s evolving video feed.
  • The platform is clearly investing in video discovery. LinkedIn is expanding its video tab and carousel internationally after extensive testing.
  • Simplicity wins. Smartphone footage, captions, natural lighting, and one clear idea per video are enough to succeed.
