How do I get more views on LinkedIn videos?
By the VIRAL AI team · Updated · 2 min read
The short answer
You get more views on LinkedIn videos by sharing native, vertical or square videos with professional value, adding captions, hooking viewers quickly and writing posts that encourage discussion. LinkedIn favours content that sparks meaningful conversations among professionals.
Share insights, lessons, behind-the-scenes and practical tips relevant to your industry. Keep videos concise and add captions, since many viewers watch muted. Engage with comments quickly. Post consistently and participate in industry conversations.
LinkedIn now has a dedicated vertical video feed, which gives short professional videos more room to be discovered. Videos that teach one clear lesson, share a real result or tell a short career story tend to earn the comments and reposts that extend reach across professional networks.
Step-by-step plan
Upload native vertical or square videos.
Share professional insights or lessons.
Add captions for silent viewing.
Write posts that invite discussion.
Engage with comments promptly.
Example: a consultant shares weekly 60-second videos on client lessons, growing LinkedIn followers and generating inbound leads.
Why this works
Every platform rewards the same core behaviour, attention that lasts, but measures it differently: Snapchat Spotlight and YouTube Shorts behave like TikTok, Pinterest works like a visual search engine, LinkedIn rewards professional relevance and dwell time, and live platforms such as Twitch and Kick reward consistent schedules and community. Choosing where to focus first, then reusing your best ideas everywhere with a simple workflow, beats spreading thin across every app at once.
Common mistake to avoid
Sharing overly promotional content. LinkedIn audiences respond better to value and insights.
Pro tip
Start videos with a bold professional insight or lesson learned. It hooks viewers and encourages comments.
Check it before you post
Don't guess why your video is stuck.
