# Connect Your Social Accounts

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://fohr.writedocs.io/llms.txt).

Connect Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube to your Fohr profile, and know what to do if a connection breaks.

Connecting a platform lets Fohr show brands your real reach (How many different people saw your content.), audience, and content. Connect from your **Home** or **Connect Accounts** pages. Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube each set their own requirements before they'll connect.

## Connect a platform

**[Instagram](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/creator/connect-accounts/instagram/)**

Requires a Business or Creator account (An account type for creators or businesses. It is different from a personal account.) with a linked Facebook Page (A business or creator presence on Facebook. It is not your personal Facebook profile.).

**[TikTok](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/creator/connect-accounts/tiktok/)**

Connects through TikTok's own Login Kit (TikTok's own sign-in tool. You use it to authorize Fohr with your TikTok account.).

**[YouTube](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/creator/connect-accounts/youtube/)**

Connects through Google's own YouTube API (A way for one app to share data with another app.).

## Data Fohr receives

Connecting a platform grants Fohr read access to your performance metrics, and nothing more. The following table lists what each platform shares, and what Fohr states it never accesses:

| Platform | What Fohr receives | What Fohr never accesses |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Instagram | Follower count, views and interactions, and performance for Stories (Short posts that disappear after a day.), in-feed posts (Regular posts that show in your main feed.), and Reels (Short videos on Instagram.) | Your DMs (Direct messages, the private messages you send on a platform.), password, posting ability, and personal info |
| TikTok | Profile info and follower count, video views and engagement, creator insights and analytics, and Spark Ads (A TikTok ad format that lets a brand promote a post from your account.) authorization | Your DMs (Direct messages, the private messages you send on a platform.), password, posting ability, and drafts |
| YouTube | Channel info and subscriber count, video views and engagement, audience demographics, and watch time (How long people spend watching your videos.) analytics | Your private videos, comments, upload ability, and account settings |

Instagram and TikTok both require this full set of metrics for campaign participation, so a connection that grants fewer of them limits which campaigns you can join. It also limits what brands see. On Instagram, for example, only a Facebook connection (Connecting Instagram through Facebook. It gives brands the fullest picture of your account.) shows Stories (Short posts that disappear after a day.), saves (When someone bookmarks your post to view later.), and shares (When someone sends your post to other people.). [Instagram](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/creator/connect-accounts/instagram/) lists what each connection type shows.

## Add a link to another platform

Add any platform Fohr doesn't connect through an API (A way for one app to share data with another app.), for example a blog, Substack (A platform for publishing newsletters.), or press mentions, to your profile as a plain link, from here or from the **Other Platforms** widget on your home page. A link carries no data with it.
