LinkedIn video has quietly become a place where founders and specialists can build a bigger voice than their own company pages. The bar is not production value, it is having one clear point and not wandering away from it.
FreeTeleprompter.io is a free browser teleprompter for recording LinkedIn videos. You paste your notes, they scroll beside or over your camera, and you record straight to MP4 without installing anything or creating an account. It suits LinkedIn specifically because the format rewards a clear point delivered without rambling, and because most LinkedIn video is watched with the sound off, so a tight script gives you accurate captions to add afterwards. Nothing is uploaded: the recording is made and saved on your own device.
Opens with landscape 16:9 already selected. No account, no download, and your camera never leaves your device.
Lead with the claim, not the introduction
Nobody on LinkedIn needs your job title first, it is on your profile. Open with the thing you actually believe, and let people scroll back if they want to know who is saying it.
Write to sixty or ninety seconds
Longer than a Reel, shorter than a talk. Around 130 to 200 words. Enough for a claim, a reason and an example, which is the whole structure this format needs.
Landscape or portrait, but decide first
LinkedIn takes both. Portrait fills more of a phone screen in feed, landscape looks more considered on desktop. Pick before you film rather than cropping afterwards.
Assume the sound is off
A large share of LinkedIn video is watched muted. A written script means your captions are accurate when you add them, rather than reconstructed from an autotranscribe of you improvising.
Keep notes, not sentences
This audience is unusually good at spotting someone reading. Cue lines keep you on the point while the words stay yours.
Record and post it yourself
Download the MP4 and upload it to LinkedIn, where you can add captions and a hook line in the post copy. Nothing here touches your account.
Frequently asked questions
Sixty to ninety seconds for most talking-to-camera posts, roughly 130 to 200 words. Long enough for a claim, a reason and an example, short enough that people finish it.
Both work. Portrait fills more of the screen for mobile viewers in the feed, landscape reads as more considered on desktop. What matters is choosing before you record rather than cropping afterwards and losing the framing.
Yes, in practice. A large share of the feed is watched with sound off, so an uncaptioned video is silent to many viewers. Working from a written script means the captions you add are accurate.
Not if you use cue lines rather than full sentences and keep them close to the lens. This audience is quick to spot someone reading a script, which is exactly why the notes-not-sentences approach matters more here than anywhere else.
Free, no account, no watermark and nothing uploaded. The video is recorded and saved on your own device, and you upload it to LinkedIn yourself.
