Connect your social accounts
What you’ll do: Give EBENEZER permission to post clips to your church’s YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
About 10 minutes for all four
Go to Settings → Social Media. Each platform has a card showing whether it’s connected, and which account it’s connected to.
Before you start, check which account your browser is signed into. If you’re signed into your personal Google or Facebook, you’ll connect that instead of the church’s. Sign out first, or use a private window.
YouTube
- Press Connect YouTube.
- Sign in with the Google account that owns your church’s channel.
- Allow EBENEZER to upload videos.
YouTube takes both your short clips and your long ones, which makes it the most useful connection of the four.
Facebook and Instagram together
Instagram is connected through Facebook. Pressing either Connect Facebook or Connect Instagram starts the same sign-in, and finishing it connects both at once. That’s why the confirmation mentions both names.
- Press Connect Facebook.
- Sign in and choose your church’s Page — not your personal profile.
- Allow the permissions asked for.
Facebook has one more step than the others — a Businesses screen that, if you miss it, leaves the connection flagged amber and unable to publish until you fix it. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in Connect Facebook and Instagram.
For Instagram to work, your church’s Instagram must be a Business account and it must be linked to that Facebook Page inside Instagram’s own settings. If Instagram still shows as not connected after a successful Facebook connection, that link is what’s missing.
TikTok
- Press Connect TikTok.
- Sign in with your church’s TikTok account and approve access.
TikTok doesn’t let outside apps post on your behalf. EBENEZER puts the video into your TikTok drafts, without the caption. Open the TikTok app, add your words, and post it.
Worth knowing before you promise your team that TikTok is automated. It isn’t — but it still saves you exporting and transferring the file yourself.
Checking and changing connections
A connected card shows the account name, so you can confirm it’s the church’s and not someone’s personal one. To connect a different account, press Disconnect and connect again.
Alarming wording, ordinary cause. It almost always means you took too long, or the sign-in opened in a different tab than the one you came from. Go back to Settings and press Connect again, finishing without leaving the flow.
Platforms occasionally require you to sign in again, particularly after a password change. If publishing suddenly starts failing on one platform but works on the others, reconnecting that one is the first thing to try.
You don’t need all four
Connect only what your church actually uses. An unconnected platform is simply skipped when you publish. Most churches start with YouTube and Facebook and add the others later.
