Publishing Media
Publish your videos to connected social media accounts directly from the VDClip calendar. Select a clip, configure platform-specific settings for each account, and choose to post immediately or schedule for later.
Configure your post once with platform-specific details for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Post to multiple accounts simultaneously or schedule for the perfect time.

Schedule for Later
Enable the schedule toggle, pick a date and time, then confirm. The post will be published automatically at the chosen moment.
Account Validation
Before your post is submitted, VDClip validates that all selected accounts are properly connected and authorized. If an account requires re-authentication, you will be prompted to reconnect it before posting.
Posting limits vary by plan. Some plans have restrictions on the number of posts you can schedule per day or month. Check the pricing page for current limits and plan details.
After scheduling or posting, you can view and manage your posts in the calendar.
Tips & Best Practices
While you can post the same video everywhere, adapting captions and descriptions to each platform's style leads to better engagement.
Research when your audience is most active on each platform and schedule your posts accordingly for maximum reach.
Add targeted hashtags that relate to your content. Avoid generic tags and focus on niche-specific ones for better discoverability.
Always review your platform-specific settings before hitting publish. Check titles, descriptions, and visibility settings for each account.
Use the calendar to plan your content weeks in advance. Consistency helps build audience expectations and loyalty.
Monitor how your posts perform on each platform. Use these insights to refine your content strategy and posting times.
