Add Captions to a LinkedIn Video
To add captions to a LinkedIn video, upload it below and let AI speech recognition transcribe the audio and burn the subtitles straight into the frame. The captions are part of the video file itself, so they display for every viewer on every device — no separate subtitle file to manage.
Most people scroll LinkedIn in situations where sound is off — open offices, commutes, meetings they are half in. A talking-head video without captions is effectively a silent film there, and viewers scroll past rather than hunt for the unmute button. Burned-in captions make the video work the way the feed is actually used.
How to add captions to LinkedIn video
- 1
Upload your video
Add your talking-head clip, webinar excerpt, or product demo — up to 500 MB. English, French, Spanish, and German are supported, with auto-detect as the default.
- 2
Pick a style and position
Classic gives clean, professional subtitles suited to LinkedIn. Choose bottom, middle, top, or a custom height so captions never cover your speaker or slides.
- 3
Download and post
AI transcribes the speech and burns the captions into the video. Download the file and upload it natively to LinkedIn — it now works with the sound off.
Why use Video-Matic
Watchable on mute
Captions carry your message in the sound-off feed, where most LinkedIn viewing actually happens.
Burned in, works everywhere
Subtitles are part of the frame itself — they render identically on every device with no player settings involved.
A professional look
The Classic preset produces clean, readable subtitles — no flashy karaoke effects in front of a business audience unless you want them.
Accessible by default
Captions make your content available to deaf and hard-of-hearing professionals and to non-native speakers of your language.
Frequently asked questions
Are the captions accurate?›
The AI speech recognition handles clear speech very well — a talking-head video with decent audio typically comes out with few or no errors. Heavy background noise, crosstalk, and niche jargon reduce accuracy, so record in a quiet spot when you can and preview the result before posting.
Can I get a separate SRT subtitle file?›
No — this tool burns captions directly into the video frames rather than exporting a subtitle file. For the LinkedIn feed that is an advantage: burned-in captions always display, on every device, without anyone toggling a player setting.
Which languages are supported?›
English, French, Spanish, and German, plus an auto-detect mode that identifies the spoken language for you. Auto-detect is the default and works well for single-language videos.
What does captioning cost?›
Captioning costs 3 credits per video because it runs AI transcription plus rendering. New accounts include 3 free credits, so your first captioned video is free. More credits come in one-time packs — there is no subscription.
