People at the core

Keep it simple

Avoid artificial staging:

Heavy production is unnecessary . A smartphone recording is sufficient.

• Minimize motion design and corporate-style settings.

Keep the video short: under 1 minute 30 seconds.

• Do not rely on a rigid script. Instead, provide a simple framework that the speaker can interpret freely.

Subtitles are essential: 80–90% of LinkedIn videos are watched without sound.

• Encourage people to speak naturally, as if they were talking to a close friend .
