Network-specific options

In the composer, under each network in the preview area, there is a "Network options" section with settings that only apply to that network. Examples:

• Instagram: post type (Feed/Carousel/Reel or Story), share Reel to feed, first comment, collaborators, tag users, Trial Reel, cover image or cover second, AI-generated media label.
• Facebook: which Page to publish to, post type (Feed, Reel, Story), Reel title, cover image, first comment, save as draft on the Page, country restriction, multi-link carousel and its "See more" link.
• TikTok: post type, privacy, allow comments/Duet/Stitch, the two mandatory confirmations, commercial content disclosure, AI disclosure, cover image or cover second, carousel description and cover photo, auto background music.
• YouTube: title, tags, custom thumbnail, visibility, first comment, made for kids, AI disclosure, category, playlist.
• Pinterest: title, board, destination link, cover image or cover second.
• Reddit: subreddit, title, link post, flair, Reddit video player, cover image, looping clip, NSFW, spoiler, reply notifications.
• LinkedIn: which company page to publish as, country restriction, first comment, document title, disable link preview, repost with your commentary.
• X (Twitter): poll, reply settings, thread editor, quote a post, long video, country restriction, paid partnership, AI-generated media, sensitive media.
• Threads: topic tag, thread editor.
• Bluesky: thread editor.
• Telegram: text formatting, silent send, protected content, no link preview.
• Google Business Profile: which listing, post type (update, event or offer), event dates, offer coupon and terms, language, call-to-action button.

Two of these deserve their own explanation, because they are the ones people ask about.

VIDEO COVERS (THUMBNAILS) ------------------------------------------------------------ The image someone sees before they press play. You can set one on:

• YouTube — regular (horizontal) videos. NOT on Shorts: YouTube's API does not accept a custom thumbnail for a Short, so the field is hidden when your video is vertical rather than offered and silently ignored. Your channel must be phone-verified for YouTube to accept custom thumbnails at all.
• Facebook — video posts and Reels.
• Instagram — Reels.
• TikTok — videos and carousels.
• Pinterest — video pins.

Two ways to set it, wherever it is offered

• Cover image: upload a file (JPG or PNG). Always a file — you never paste a URL.
• Cover second: type the second of the video to freeze, e.g. 2.5. If you upload an image as well, the image wins.

The cover field lives on the video itself, under the media, not in the network options — that is where to look for it.

MULTI-LINK CAROUSEL (FACEBOOK) ------------------------------------------------------------ Turns your images into a swipeable carousel where each image is clickable and opens its own web page. Useful for a product roundup: five products, five images, five links.

• Add one card per image. Three images means three cards; Facebook rejects the post if the numbers do not match, and Ignix warns you before you publish.
• Between 2 and 5 images. Images only — no videos.
• Each card takes the link it should open, and optionally a title and a short description shown under the image.
• "See more link" is an EXTRA card Facebook adds at the end, after your images, with a "See more" button. It is optional; left empty it reuses the first image's link.

TIKTOK PHOTO CAROUSEL: TITLE OR CAPTION ------------------------------------------------------------ The same text box means two different things on TikTok, depending on the post type, and this is the one that catches people out.

On a photo carousel, TikTok cuts the title at 90 characters and strips out hashtags and URLs, without telling you. So a 600-character caption with five hashtags typed into the main box arrives as a cropped title with no hashtags at all.

Write a short hook in the main box, and put everything else — caption and hashtags — in "Carousel description". The character counter in the composer follows the post type, so it shows 90 as soon as you choose Photo carousel.
