Common Issues

X token expired

X access tokens expire periodically. If your posts fail to publish, try reconnecting your X account from the platform connections page in your dashboard.

Video duration limits

Free X accounts are limited to 140-second videos. If your video is longer, you may need X Premium for extended video uploads. ShortSync will notify you if your video exceeds the platform limit.

Community posting permissions

To post to an X Community, you must be a member of that community. If a community doesn't appear in your list, make sure you've joined it on X first.
