It says my account isn't valid

Your Instagram must be a professional account (business or creator). Switch it for free in Instagram → Settings → Account type and try again.

The Meta window won't open

Your browser might be blocking pop-ups. Allow them for socialmaker.ai, or try a different browser.

It connected a different account than the one I wanted

Meta uses the session that's open in your browser. Sign out of Instagram or Facebook, come back to SocialMaker, and connect again.
