Connected TV advertising specifications

Last updated: 4 months ago

With LinkedIn Connected TV (CTV) ads, you can use first-party data from our community of one billion professionals to help you reach your audience on a large-screen experience. 

Here's a tip

You can use any video asset, which is any video you’ve uploaded to Campaign Manager, to create a CTV ad, if the video meets CTV ad specifications.   


Keep in mind, only ads created specifically as a CTV ad can be sponsored or added to CTV ad campaigns. Video ads created for a non-CTV campaign can’t be used with a CTV campaign.

The following table lists specifications your video ad must meet to be eligible to be shown on Connected TVs (CTVs), and the recommended CTV specs for maximizing delivery across our network of publishing partners.

Important to know

Uploading a video that meets the recommended requirements doesn’t guarantee delivery to all publishers.
