Posts and Page videos follow different rules
LinkedIn Help keeps two lists. A video in a post can run up to 15 minutes and be an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI or WMV. The video on a LinkedIn Page or Career Page, on the Life and What We Do tabs, can run 10 minutes at most, and LinkedIn says it no longer supports AVI, QuickTime or MOV there. An iPhone video is a MOV, so it posts fine but needs exporting as MP4 for the Page. The checker flags both.
Why a video uploads and then never plays
LinkedIn notes that a ProRes file may upload but won't process, and its limits cap a video at 30 Mbps and 60 fps, which a camera original or a high-bitrate export from an editor can pass. Export H.264 MP4 at the resolution you edited, and keep text and logos away from the edges, where LinkedIn says its buttons can cover them. To check the export against YouTube as well, use the video bitrate checker.
LinkedIn states the size range as 256 × 144 to 4,096 × 2,304; the checker applies it to the long and short side, so a vertical 1080 × 1920 video is judged the same way as a horizontal one.

What are LinkedIn’s video specs?
LinkedIn Help lists 75 KB to 5 GB, 3 seconds to 15 minutes (2 seconds from the app), 256 × 144 to 4,096 × 2,304 pixels, an aspect ratio between 1:2.4 and 2.4:1, 10 to 60 fps and 192 kbps to 30 Mbps. MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI and WMV are accepted for posts.
How long can a LinkedIn video be?
Up to 15 minutes in a post, at least 3 seconds from a computer and 2 from the app. A LinkedIn Page or Career Page video (the Life and What We Do tabs) can run 10 minutes at most.
Can I upload a MOV file to LinkedIn?
To a post, yes. For a Page or Career Page video, LinkedIn says it no longer supports AVI, QuickTime or MOV, so export an MP4 for those.
Why won’t my LinkedIn video process?
LinkedIn notes that a ProRes file may upload but won’t process, and its requirements cap a video at 30 Mbps and 60 fps. Drop the file above to see which rule it misses, then export H.264 MP4.
What shape should a LinkedIn video be?
Anything from 1:2.4 (tall) to 2.4:1 (wide) uploads. Keep text and logos away from the edges: LinkedIn says its buttons can cover them.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The checker reads the file in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
Rather have it edited for LinkedIn?
Send the footage, and the edit comes back as an MP4 that fits LinkedIn's rules for posts and Pages, and you work directly with Mark.
