How to connect social accounts

Connect social accounts for direct and scheduled publishing.

👀 Availability

Connected account limits, supported platforms, direct publishing, and scheduled publishing options can depend on your plan and each platform's permissions.

Connect your social accounts when you want to publish clips directly from WayinVideo.

After an account is connected, you can publish clips without downloading the file, uploading it again, and switching between multiple social platforms. Depending on your plan, you can publish immediately or schedule multiple clips in bulk.

Supported platforms

WayinVideo currently shows connection options for:

  • YouTube

  • TikTok

  • Instagram

  • Facebook

  • LinkedIn

  • X/Twitter

The platforms available to you can depend on your plan, workspace settings, and each platform's authorization requirements.

Connect accounts from Scheduler

Use this path when you want to manage social accounts before preparing a post.

  1. Open your workspace.

  2. Click Scheduler in the left sidebar.

  3. Click All Accounts in the top-right area.

  4. Click Manage.

  5. In Add Social Account, choose the platform you want to connect.

  6. Follow the authorization steps shown by that platform.

  7. Return to WayinVideo after authorization is complete.

When the connection succeeds, the account will appear under Connect accounts with a Connected status.

Connect accounts from the publish popup

You can also connect accounts while publishing a clip.

  1. Open a clip and click Publish.

  2. In the Publish to Social popup, click Manage Accounts.

  3. Choose the platform you want to connect.

  4. Complete the platform authorization flow.

  5. Return to the publish popup.

  6. Select the connected account and continue preparing the post.

This is useful when you are ready to publish but have not connected the destination account yet.

What happens during authorization

After you choose a platform, that platform opens its own login and permission flow.

Follow the prompts to:

  • Sign in to the correct social account

  • Choose the account, page, or channel when the platform asks

  • Grant the permissions required for publishing

  • Return to WayinVideo

Make sure you connect the account you actually want to publish from, especially if you manage multiple channels, pages, or brand accounts.

Manage or remove connected accounts

Open Manage Accounts when you need to review connected accounts, add another account, or remove an account you no longer use.

You may want to remove an account when:

  • The account is no longer part of your workflow

  • You connected the wrong account

  • A teammate's permissions changed

  • You reached your plan's connected-account limit

If an account stops working, reconnect it and complete the platform authorization flow again.

Publish after connecting

After a social account is connected, you can use WayinVideo to:

  • Publish a clip directly to a selected social account

  • Schedule a post for a later date and time

  • Bulk schedule multiple clips across connected accounts when your plan includes bulk publishing

  • Review title, description, tags, thumbnail, resolution, time zone, and posting frequency before scheduling

This can save time when you publish the same batch of clips across multiple platforms.

Plan limits

The number of social accounts you can connect can vary by plan.

Also keep in mind:

  • Some plans may support manual publishing but not bulk scheduling.

  • Some plans may include more connected accounts than others.

  • Platform permissions can still limit what WayinVideo can publish.

  • Custom thumbnails, categories, visibility settings, and other platform-specific fields can differ by destination.

If you cannot connect another account, check your plan's connected-account limit or remove an account you no longer need.
