# Connect your social media accounts

You can connect six platforms to AITuber: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and X. After you connect an account, you can publish videos to it from AITuber, and Autopilot can post to it for you.

## Which platforms can I connect?

| Platform | Notes |
|---|---|
| YouTube | Post Shorts and long videos to your channel |
| TikTok | Post videos straight to your TikTok account |
| Instagram | Post Reels. Needs a Professional or Creator account |
| Facebook | Post videos to a Facebook Page you manage |
| Threads | Post videos to your Threads profile |
| X | Post videos to your X profile |

Do not see your platform? Open the connect dialog and click **Do not see your platform?**. Tell us which one you want. We let you know when it is ready.

## How do I connect an account?

1. Go to the [publish page](https://app.aituber.app/dashboard/publish)
2. Open the **Accounts** tab.
3. Click **Connect Account**.

4. Pick your platform in the **Connect an account** dialog.

5. Sign in on the platform's own page and approve access.
6. You come back to AITuber with the account connected.

The whole flow takes under a minute. You sign in on the platform's secure page, not on ours. We never see your password.

## What does connecting give AITuber?

Connecting lets AITuber upload and post videos to that account, and read basic account details like the name, picture, and follower count. We only post when you tell us to: when you publish a video, when you schedule one, or when an Autopilot you set up has auto-post turned on.

## Do I get free credits for connecting?

Yes. You get 15 free credits the first time you connect an account. This reward is part of the getting-started checklist, and it applies once. It is only for accounts that have never had a paid plan. [Free credits and rewards](https://help.aituber.app/en/article/free-credits-and-rewards-1i3qoce/).

## How do I disconnect an account?

1. Go to the [publish page](https://app.aituber.app/dashboard/publish)
2. Open the **Accounts** tab.
3. Find the account card and click **Disconnect**.

4. Confirm.

Disconnecting removes AITuber's access to that account. Videos you already posted stay on the platform.

## How do I reconnect an account?

If the account card says **This account needs to be reconnected**, click **Reconnect** on that card and approve access again. You cannot publish to that account until you reconnect. Scheduled posts for that account wait until you reconnect; they are not deleted.

If posts to a YouTube channel have failed lately and the channel is not yet on our newest connection, the card says **Some videos did not post. Reconnect to fix this.** Click **Reconnect** and sign in again. This moves the channel to a faster connection with more room to post each day.

If you connected TikTok a long time ago, you may see a note that asks you to reconnect even while publishing still works. Reconnecting moves the account to our newer, more reliable connection.
