Account Switching
VDClip lets you switch between your personal account and any team accounts you belong to. The account switcher is located at the bottom of the sidebar and provides instant access to all your accounts.
The Account Switcher
The sidebar shows your currently active account at the bottom. It displays:
- Avatar: Your profile picture or team avatar
- Name: Your name or the team name
- Label: “Personal” or “Team” with the plan name
Click the account button to open the dropdown with all available accounts.
How to Switch Accounts
Open the Account Dropdown
Click on your account button at the bottom of the sidebar. The dropdown shows all accounts you have access to.
Select an Account
Click on any account in the list. Your personal account is listed first, followed by all your teams. A checkmark indicates the currently active account.
Dashboard Updates Automatically
The dashboard immediately refreshes to show the selected account’s projects, media, credits, and settings.
What the Dropdown Contains
The account switcher dropdown provides access to several actions:
Account List
Your personal account and all team accounts with their names, avatars, and plan labels.
Create Team
When on a personal account, a “Create Team” option appears to start a new team.
Profile or Team Settings
Quick link to your personal profile (when personal) or team settings (when on a team).
Language, Theme, and Logout
Change your language, switch between light/dark theme, or log out of VDClip.
What Changes When You Switch
Each account has its own independent resources:
- Projects and media: Each account has separate video projects and media libraries
- Credits: Credit balance is per account (personal credits are separate from team credits)
- Templates: Teams can have their own set of templates
- Social accounts: Connected social media accounts are scoped to the active account
- Calendar and posts: Scheduled posts belong to the account that created them
- Plan and billing: Each account has its own subscription plan
Creating a New Team
You can create a team directly from the account switcher:
- Make sure you are on your personal account
- Open the account dropdown in the sidebar
- Click Create Team
- Enter a team name in the dialog that appears
- Click Create to set up your new team
After creation, you are automatically set as the team Owner and can start inviting members.
Leaving a Team
If you are not the Owner, you can leave a team:
- Switch to the team account
- Go to the team page
- Click the Leave button (door icon) in the members list header
- Confirm in the dialog
You will be removed from the team and it will disappear from your account switcher.
Tips & Best Practices
Always verify which account is selected in the sidebar before starting work. The active account name and avatar are visible at the bottom of the sidebar.
Give each team a unique, recognizable name so you can quickly identify the right one in the switcher.
Team pictures in the account switcher make it easier to distinguish between multiple teams at a glance.
Credits, projects, and social accounts are tied to the active account. Switching accounts changes what you see in the dashboard.
