LinkedIn Just Unlocked a Game-Changing Upgrade for Your Articles & Newsletters LinkedIn now allows video clips to be used as header visuals for both articles and newsletters. These short, auto-playing videos appear in the feed and display as video thumbnails in email alerts, perfect for boosting engagement. Why this matters: Stop scrollers in their tracks: - LinkedIn reports that video posts are shared 20× more often and drive 1.4× more engagement than text or static images. Plus, views are up 36% year-over-year. Enhance your newsletter strategy: - A compelling video header not only grabs attention, but it also increases clicks and subscriptions by previewing your message. One-size-fits-all content: - Use the same 30-second clip in feed and email, extra tools required. LinkedIn recommends a 16:9 horizontal format for optimal results.
