What to know about each network

What you can publish on each network, which numbers come back and what to watch out for.

Each network takes different things and gives back different numbers; the editor warns you if something doesn't fit. To connect them, see Connect your social accounts.

Instagram

  • Posts photos, carousels of 2 to 10 photos and videos, reels (every video is a reel, 3 s to 15 min) and stories. Up to 2,200 characters and 30 hashtags, with First comment and up to 5 Collaborators.
  • Numbers: reach, views, likes, comments, saves, shares and watch time on reels. A story's numbers are only read while it's up (24 h).

Facebook

  • Pages only. Text, a photo, up to 10 photos, a video or stories, with images up to 10 MB.
  • Numbers: reactions, comments, shares, reach, views, clicks and the Page's followers.

Instagram and Facebook comments and messages come into the Inbox.

X

  • Connect with X (one-click X) is on paid plans, with a number of posts a month that depends on the plan. With Use your own developer keys you connect X on any plan, without that limit; X bills the calls to your developer account. If you go back to Free, reconnect X with your keys.
  • 280 characters (each link counts as 23), up to 4 images (5 MB) or one video up to 2 min 20 s.
  • Numbers: views, likes, replies, reposts and quotes, and bookmarks, read 1, 3, 7 and 30 days after publishing. What you post directly on X doesn't show in the calendar.
A brand's connected channels: Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Bluesky, Threads and the website

TikTok

  • Personal accounts, video only (at least 3 s). With Connect (inbox), the video lands in your TikTok drafts: open it, add a sound and publish. With Connect (direct) it's published at the time you set; you choose Who can see this video and what you allow (comments, duets, stitches).
  • Numbers: views, likes, comments and shares; followers and number of videos.

YouTube

  • Video only. The first line is the title (100 characters) and the whole text the description. Vertical videos up to 3 minutes are Shorts. If YouTube keeps a video private, the post tells you: make it public in YouTube Studio.
  • Numbers: views, likes, comments and subscribers.

Bluesky

  • Connects with an app password, not your own: in Bluesky, Settings → Privacy and security → App passwords.
  • 300 characters, up to 4 photos or one video up to 3 minutes. Numbers: likes, reposts and quotes, replies and followers.

Threads

  • Any profile, personal ones too. 500 characters, photos, videos up to 5 minutes and carousels of 2 to 20. Only the first hashtag becomes the topic.
  • Numbers: views, likes, replies, reposts and followers. Replies come into the Inbox.

Twitch

Analytics only: Twitch doesn't let other apps post, so it doesn't appear in Post to. You see its followers and your videos' views in analytics and reports.
