Choose who gets the credit
- In the Host flow, scroll to Posting for another host and turn it on when you are posting on someone else’s behalf.
- Choose Idle, Instagram, or Facebook.
- For Idle credit, type the host’s username in Idle user, then choose the correct profile from the suggestions. Review the credited profile before publishing.
Host credit is public attribution. The signed-in poster still manages the Idle post, including edit, cancel, and Host Tools access.
Credit an Instagram or Facebook host
Choosing a social source changes the fields shown in the form:
- InstagramEnter the host’s Instagram link and add a Display name if useful.
- FacebookEnter the host’s Facebook link and add a Display name if useful.
Check that the name and link identify the right host before publishing. Adding credit does not transfer management of the Idle post.
If you are credited
If your Idle profile has a pending host credit, open the meet while signed into that account. In the host credit section, choose Confirm credit if it is yours or Not mine if it is not. This does not give you management of the post.
Troubleshooting
