Volta supports the full spectrum of social media platforms — from short-form text on X and Bluesky to video-first platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Each platform has its own connection method, content limits, and media requirements. Use the sections below to set up each channel you want to publish to.
For platforms that require OAuth app credentials (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), you can enter your Client ID and Secret directly in the Add Channel popup inside Volta. You don’t need to edit your .env file manually — credentials entered through the UI are stored securely and used automatically.
