# Connect X

Once X is connected, BitterClip can post a finished clip to your feed for you. This page walks through the sign-in and what you're agreeing to.

## Before you start

::connect-prereqs

## What connecting X lets you do

When you connect, X asks you to approve the permissions below. Each one does this:

::connector-scopes{connector="x"}
::

One of those permissions lets BitterClip read your posts. That's so a clip can go out as a short thread when it makes sense, with the parts in the right order.

## Connect X

1. Open **Settings** in the BitterClip app.
2. Find X under **Publishing accounts** and click **Connect**.
3. Sign in to X and approve the permissions above.

When you return to BitterClip, the X row should show **Connected**.

::callout{type="tip"}
Sign in with the X account you actually want your clips posted to. Whatever account you authorize is the one BitterClip posts from. If the connection doesn't take, double-check you picked the right account, then try again.
