LinkedIn is diving headfirst into video innovation, and at the heart of this push is a new feature: the video carousel. Instead of relying on a single video to capture attention, users can now layer multiple clips—allowing for more dynamic, multi-part narratives that feel more like stories and less like presentations. 

This exciting update comes with some fresh considerations for savvy creators:

Format Matters More Than Ever: 

What looks stunning on desktop might appear awkwardly cropped in a carousel view. Smart creators are already thinking about layout and spacing the way they do with visual designs in traditional carousels and infographics. 

Captions Just Got Upgraded:

With most professionals scrolling through LinkedIn on mute during work hours, captions have evolved from a nice addition to an absolute essential. They’re not just transcriptions– they’re your headline, your hook, and your best chance at keeping viewers engaged.

Pro tip: 

Be strategic with your captions. LinkedIn’s native captioning can sometimes clash with text you’ve already embedded in your videos. Content pioneers are exploring custom captioning options, either burned directly into their edits or styled cleverly to enhance rather than compete with their visuals.

LinkedIn’s video carousel feature is still evolving rapidly.The platform is in an exciting test-and-learn phase, which means best practices will undoubtedly shift in the coming months.
