• FLV.
• MPEG-1 and MPEG-4.
• MKV.
• WebM.
• H264/AVC.
• MP4.
• VP8 and VP9.
• WMV2 and WMV3.

Here are the formats that the network does not support (updated end of 2021).

How to convert video files?

You want to use a video converter because you realized that the output format of your video does not match?

If you want to dig into the even more technical aspect of LinkedIn video, here’s some more information:

• Proportions: 1:2.4 – 2.4:1.
• Speed: from 192 kbit/s to 30 Mbit/s.

But honestly, we don’t really care about that unless you get an error message and your video fails to load. At that point you can look at the LinkedIn help center. 👆 or ask someone who knows about it and is going to be able to help you change those settings.

Since they are pretty standard, if you are using standard tools to make online videos (smartphone, pc) you shouldn’t have a problem. It’s only if you have invested in high-end capture equipment that you may have to adapt a few things.

Nothing too complicated.

No need to panic. 🤗

LinkedIn video maximum weight

How to reduce the size of a video without destroying the quality?

You can use videosmaller, it’s free, and super easy to use.

You have the possibility to click the box “low compression level for better quality”. Personally I did the test with or without, the quality remains quite good. You’ll have to do the test on your side, it depends on your video 😉

Following the same logic, LinkedIn won’t let you post a 60-minute video talking about your thesis on the influence of paper clips in open spaces. 📎

LinkedIn wants quality content that is short and snappy. Maximum video length:
