Quick path: Settings → Manage → Channels → Add Channel.

1. Open Manage

  1. In the left-hand sidebar, expand Settings and click Manage.
  2. Open the Channels tab. The Your Channels section lists your workspace's channels.

  • Dropbox: Click Connect Dropbox to connect the folder containing your videos.
  • TikTok: Click Sync Channel and enter your TikTok username.

When setup is complete, return to Settings → Manage → Channels and find the new channel in Your Channels. The list includes its source, video count, and sync status.

What is a workspace?

A workspace groups your channels under one VideoNest account. Use it to manage separate brands or content libraries without creating a separate login for each channel.

Accounts, channels, and workspaces

  • Your account is the identity you use to log in.
  • A channel organizes a video library and its content source.
  • Your workspace brings those channels and your team together.

Team access

Each member has a role and a channel access setting. The role determines what they can do, and the channel setting determines where those permissions apply. All channels includes every current and future channel. Selected channels includes only the channels an Admin or Owner grants.

Adding a channel does not automatically grant access to it for members set to Selected channels. An Admin or Owner can update their access from the Members list. Members set to All channels get access to the new channel automatically.

To invite a teammate or compare roles, follow Add a team member and review the role descriptions.

If the controls are missing

Confirm that you are logged in to the correct Enterprise account and have opened Settings → Manage. Only Admins and Owners can add channels. If your role does not include this access, ask your workspace Admin or Owner. If an Admin or Owner still cannot see the control, contact VideoNest support.
