# Connect Bluesky

Bluesky does not use a sign-in window. Instead you give Schedule & Chill your **handle** and an **app password**. An app password is a separate password you create in Bluesky just for one app. We never see your real password.

## Step 1 — create an app password in Bluesky

1. Open Bluesky and go to **Settings → App Passwords** (or open [bsky.app/settings/app-passwords](https://bsky.app/settings/app-passwords)).
2. Add a new app password. Give it a name, for example "Schedule & Chill".
3. Copy the password. It looks like `xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx`.

## Step 2 — connect in Schedule & Chill

1. In the left menu, click **Connected Accounts**.
2. Under **Add a channel**, find **Bluesky** and click **Connect**.
3. In **Your handle**, type your handle, for example `you.bsky.social`. The `@` is optional.
4. In **App password**, paste the app password from step 1.
5. Click **Connect Bluesky**.

You see **Bluesky account connected successfully**.

Accounts on the main Bluesky service work. Accounts on a self-hosted Bluesky server are not supported yet.

## What a Bluesky post can include

- Up to **300 characters**. An emoji counts as one character.
- Up to **4 images**. Large images are compressed automatically to fit Bluesky's 1 MB per image limit.
- **No video** and **no first comment**.
- Links in your text become clickable.

Bluesky reports likes, replies and reposts in [Analytics](/help/analytics). It does not report views.

## Disconnect Bluesky

Delete the app password in Bluesky under **Settings → App Passwords**. The connection stops working right away. To remove the channel from Schedule & Chill too, see [Reconnect or disconnect a channel](/help/channels/fix-or-disconnect).

## If something goes wrong

| You see | What to do |
|---|---|
| **Bluesky rejected that handle or app password. Check you used an app password from Settings → App Passwords, not your account password.** | You probably pasted your normal password. Create an app password and try again. Also check the handle spelling. |
| **Bluesky sign-in failed: …** | Bluesky had a problem. Wait a minute and try again. |
| **Video isn't supported.** in the composer | Remove the video, or post it to a different channel. |
