How to connect a Facebook Page to WayinVideo

Connect a Facebook Page for publishing and troubleshoot missing pages, permission issues, and expired authorizations.

Connect the Facebook Page you manage to publish clips from WayinVideo. You sign in with your personal Facebook account to authorize access, then select a Page as the publishing destination.

​

What you need before connecting

  • A personal Facebook account you can sign in to.

  • Access to the Facebook Page you want to publish to. Your account must be allowed to manage Page content. See Facebook Page access for details about Page access levels. If the Page does not appear during authorization, ask someone with full control of the Page or its business portfolio to confirm your access.

  • A Page that is available to your account and can publish content. A personal Facebook profile is not a Page publishing destination.

  • The ability to approve the publishing permissions requested in Facebook's authorization window. The exact permissions can vary by the connection flow; review the prompts and approve the permissions WayinVideo requests for the features you want to use.

​

Connect your Facebook Page

  1. In WayinVideo, open Scheduler.

  2. Click All Accounts, then Manage.

  3. In Add Social Account, choose Facebook.

  4. When Facebook opens, sign in to the personal account that has access to your Page.

  5. Select the Page you want to connect. If Facebook asks which Pages WayinVideo can access, include the Page you plan to publish to.

  6. Review the requested permissions and approve the permissions needed to connect and publish.

  7. Return to WayinVideo and confirm the Page appears as connected.

For the general account connection flow, see How to connect social accounts.

Why the Facebook connection may fail

What you see

Common cause

What to try

Your Page is missing from the list

You signed in to a different Facebook account, your account cannot manage Page content, or the Page was not selected for sharing

Sign in to the account that manages the Page. Ask a Page or business portfolio owner to review your access, then reconnect and select the Page.

The Page connects, but publishing fails

A required permission was not approved, the authorization expired, or the Page or post is restricted by Facebook

Reconnect and approve the requested publishing permissions. Check the Page and post in Facebook, and review social publishing troubleshooting.

Facebook authorization keeps returning to WayinVideo or does not finish

The browser blocked the authorization window, the wrong Facebook session is active, or the previous authorization is stale

Allow the Facebook sign-in window, sign out of an unintended Facebook account, or try again in another browser. If it still fails, remove the old WayinVideo authorization and connect again.

The wrong Page is connected

A different Page was selected during Facebook authorization

Disconnect that Page in WayinVideo, then reconnect and select the intended Page.

​

Contact Support

If the Page still will not connect, send us:

  • The name of the Facebook Page and the Facebook account type you used (personal account or business portfolio access; never send your password).

  • The exact error message and the step where it appears.

  • A screenshot of the error, with private account information hidden where possible.

  • Whether the Page appears in Facebook's authorization window.
