# Cross-posting (/docs/creators/tools/cross-posting)

Connect your accounts once, then upload one video and publish or schedule it to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook from Bloss.

Cross-posting lets you upload a video once and post it to several platforms from Bloss: Instagram (as a Reel), TikTok, YouTube (as a Short) and Facebook (as a Reel). Posting the same video everywhere helps your [sets](/docs/creators/earning/how-you-get-paid#sets) qualify.

## Connect your accounts [#connect-your-accounts]

Bloss publishes through **bundle.social**, a posting service. You sign in to each platform on bundle.social's page, so Bloss never sees your passwords.

<Steps>
<Step>

### Open Connect Accounts [#open-connect-accounts]

Go to <UiPath>Creator Portal › Connect Accounts</UiPath> and scroll to the **Cross-posting** card.

</Step>
<Step>

### Click **Connect** next to a platform [#click-connect-next-to-a-platform]

A sign-in page opens in a new tab. Authorize the account you post from for this brand.

</Step>
<Step>

### Click **Verify connections** [#click-verify-connections]

Back in Bloss, click **Verify connections**. You'll see _Instagram connected for cross-posting._ (or the platform you added), and the platform shows your **@username**.

</Step>
</Steps>

<Callout type="warn" title="Connect the account you use for this brand">

  The account you connect becomes the account Bloss **tracks** for this brand.
  If you already have a handle saved, Bloss warns you first: *This may replace
  your tracked … account*. If you authorize a different account, your views,
  videos and payouts are tracked from the new account from then on.

</Callout>

Connections are per brand. If you create for two brands, connect your accounts in each one. Use **Reconnect** if a connection stops working.

## Publish or schedule a video [#publish-or-schedule-a-video]

Go to <UiPath>Creator Portal › Cross-post</UiPath>.

<OpenInBloss to="creator/cross-post">Open Cross-post</OpenInBloss>

1. Under **Video**, click **Upload video** and pick an MP4 or MOV file.
2. Write a **Caption**. On YouTube, the first 100 characters become the title and the full caption becomes the description.
3. Tick the **Platforms** to post to. Platforms you haven't connected show **Not connected** with a **Connect** button.
4. To post later, tick **Schedule for later** and pick a date and time. The time is in your device's time zone.
5. Click **Publish now** or **Schedule cross-post**.

## Post statuses [#post-statuses]

Your last 20 cross-posts are listed under **Recent cross-posts**.

| Status            | What it means                                                       |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scheduled**     | Waiting for the time you picked.                                    |
| **Publishing**    | Being posted now.                                                   |
| **Published**     | Live on every platform you picked.                                  |
| **Partly failed** | Live on some platforms, but not all. The error is shown on the row. |
| **Failed**        | Not posted. The error is shown on the row.                          |

Published videos are tracked like any other post, so they appear in **My Videos** after the next sync.
