Connect a social channel
A channel is one social account that Schedule & Chill posts to — for example your LinkedIn profile or your YouTube channel. You need at least one channel before you can publish anything.
Which platforms you can connect
You can connect LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon and YouTube today.
Other platforms are built but still waiting for approval from the platform itself. See Platforms that are not available yet.
How many channels you can connect
You can connect up to 2 channels.
Disconnected channels do not count toward your limit.
Connect a channel
- In the left menu, click Connected Accounts. The page opens as Connected channels.
- Scroll down to Add a channel.
- Find your platform and click Connect. If you already have a channel on that platform, the button says Add another.
- Finish the steps for your platform:
- When it works, you see "… account connected successfully" and you land on your Dashboard. If you are still in first-time setup, you go back to the setup steps instead.
Check that the channel is ready
Open Connected Accounts again. Every channel under Your channels shows:
- a green Active badge when it can publish, or a red Reconnect badge when it cannot
- its ID, with a copy button — you only need this for the API or an AI tool
- when it last published, or No posts yet
The badge at the top, for example 1 of 2, shows how many channels you use out of your limit.
Add a second account on the same platform
Schedule & Chill connects whichever account you are signed into on the platform. To add a second one:
- Open the platform in the same browser and switch to the other account, or sign out.
- Come back to Connected Accounts and click Add another.
If you skip step 1, the platform simply reconnects the account you already added.
