to a LinkedIn video?
8 march 2024
What are the advantages of a video podcast?
Are you a content creator on LinkedIn and want to add quality subtitles to your videos? What a great idea! We've decided to take a look at the issue. These days, the written transcription of a video or webinar is much more than an option on this professional social network.
This article explains why and how to add subtitles quickly on LinkedIn.đź’ˇ
LinkedIn: some figures
With 28 million e-members in France (and 950 million worldwide), LinkedIn is the online professional network you need to exploit to raise awareness of your brand. And it's worth remembering that the network is the world's second-largest online platform for B2B. As for its success in B2C, it ranks fourth worldwide.
Do you know what types of content users devour on LinkedIn? Video, of course!
Video: a popular medium on LinkedIn
LinkedIn videos are making a splash. What’s more, they can significantly boost the engagement rate of your subscribers.
According to the platform, audio-visual clips are even 5 times more engaging than other types of content. Whether it’s sharing your brand identity videos or hosting an online webinar, this is a real opportunity to increase your follower count on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn captioning: on the road to popularity
Do you want to capture as many people as possible behind their screens? You’d like to get a “like”, a “thumbs up” or, even better: a comment. Go all out and offer your prospects a quality LinkedIn video caption. It’s essential for your LinkedIn content to be visible and understandable to all users.

Subtitling videos on LinkedIn: 4 reasons
Facilitate on-the-go consumption
Most LinkedIn subscribers don't turn on the sound when they look at their news feed. It has to be said that they look at publications in situations where it is often impossible for them to activate it. Hence the importance of subtitles!
Engage all audiences
Embedding text under your LinkedIn video makes it easier to understand.
This is particularly the case for your deaf and hard-of-hearing prospects, or those whose memory is more visual than auditory.
Reaching a foreign audience
Do you want to export your business abroad? There's no need to go to the other side of the world to do it. Offer your audience content translated into their language. That's the ABC of exporting in just a few clicks!
Appealing to the LinkedIn algorithm
You may not have noticed, but the LinkedIn platform favours subtitled videos in news feeds. So you might as well appeal to the algorithms and use high-quality subtitles, don't you think?

Create your own subtitles from A to Z đź’Ş
Don't have an existing file? In that case, you're going to have to generate it yourself. So how do you make quality subtitles?
You have 3 alternatives:
đź‘Ą - Enter your subtitles yourself;
✍️ - Use automatic subtitling software;
đź› - Hire the services of a transcriber and translator.
The first solution is time-consuming and difficult to implement. The automatic generator makes your work much easier, but it's still not a panacea. As for the option of using a translator, even if the quality is good, it could cost you a lot of money.
What if you opted for an automatic solution combined with human correction at an affordable price to subtitle your videos? ✨
