Connect your accounts

AI Music Video Generator can publish finished renders to three platforms. All three connections are optional — the app renders videos just fine without any of them — and you can connect, disconnect, or switch accounts at any time.

Platforms at a glance

PlatformWhat you’ll needFormat renderedSetup time

Picking which to set up first

  • Making horizontal, long-form music videos? Start with YouTube — it’s the simplest OAuth flow and gives you the full 1920×1080 render as the canonical version.
  • Leaning into short-form for discovery? Add TikTok and/or Instagram once your YouTube channel is working. The app renders a vertical clip for each automatically.
  • Brand new, testing the app? Skip all three for now. Render a few videos, see if you like them, then come back.

Two-step setup per platform

Each platform follows the same shape:

  1. Get your API credentials. Each platform has its own developer portal and review process. See the per-platform setup guide:
  2. Sign in from the app. Once credentials are in place, the connection itself is a single button click in Settings:

Where your tokens live

Each successful connection stores a token file inside your app data directory:

  • .youtube_token.json
  • .tiktok_token.json
  • .instagram_token.json

Tokens are local-only — nothing is sent anywhere except the platform’s API during uploads. Disconnecting in the app deletes the local token; the Clear All Data… app-menu action also removes them.

Output formats

The app only renders the formats you’ve enabled — check Settings → Preferences → Output Formats (or Settings → Video Defaults). If Instagram is off, it won’t render the vertical Reel, even if your account is connected. Turn a format on and future renders include it.
