Definition

Captions are text that appears on the screen during a video, providing a written transcript of the audio.

Captions make your videos accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and they can also improve engagement for viewers who are watching with the sound off.

Usage

Add captions to all of your LinkedIn videos to make them accessible and engaging to a wider audience.

Tips

• Use an SRT file: Upload an SRT file containing your captions when you upload your video to LinkedIn.
• Enable auto-captioning: Use LinkedIn's auto-captioning feature to generate captions automatically.
• Review and edit your captions: Make sure your captions are accurate and easy to read.
• Turn off closed captions if you upload captions: If you are uploading an SRT file, disable the closed captions to prevent overlap.
