Buffer

@bleedobambam Oh no, I'm sorry for the trouble here! I'd love to look at your account -- would you mind DMing us your registered email address with Buffer, or emailing us at hello@buffer.com so we can look into this? Thank you! -Lexi

@buffer why are all of my images coming up not valid? Issues from several different sites I’ve used many times

I'm so sorry, Kelly! Images posted to X through Buffer need to be 5MB or smaller - can you confirm yours fall within that? I checked your account but am not currently seeing any errors (totally understand if you're running into the issue during composition). Would you mind sending us a screenshot through DM of what you're seeing? Or you can email it to us at hello@buffer.com. Thank you! -Lexi

@buffer I'm having issues adding images. It says the images are too large. I have never had this issue before.

@StefanW Hi Stefan, I'm so sorry - we have an open bug for this. By any chance is this happening when you hit "publish now"? If so, can you try scheduling it 5 minutes out and seeing if you run into the same error? -Lexi

@buffer Could you fix the bug — it is annoying: "There appears to be an issue with the attached media or link attachment. This could be due to the file being too large or connection timing out. Please try removing the media or link attachment and try the post again."

Hi Jacob, so sorry about this - that's definitely not right! A few troubleshooting steps to try: try in an incognito window; temporarily turn off your VPN if using one; disable extensions and turn them back on one at a time to see if one is creating a conflict (commonly an adblocker or antivirus add-on); try a different browser. Can you let me know if any of those do the trick? -Lexi

@buffer you are probably the most useful tool I use, but I am desperately waiting to go to bed, and I've been waiting 20 minutes for this 44.7 MB video to upload. Why is uploading videos so slow?

@tao8786 Hi there, I'm so sorry for the trouble! I wasn't able to find your account by looking up your X screen name -- would you mind DM'ing us with your email address, or emailing us directly at hello@buffer.com so we can look into this for you? Thank you! -Lexi

@buffer why？

Getting YouTube views feels like doing stand-up to an empty room. You post, you refresh, you wait. Nothing. Here's what actually moves the needle, from a piece we just published 👇

@Dawn_R @kalynskitchen Hey Dawn, I'm sorry to hear this is coming up. Can I ask if you're trying to use 'Share Now' or another option? It'd be helpful to understand more -Julia

@kalynskitchen @buffer Same issue

@Buffer I love your scheduler but right now I am so frustrated. Over and over I keep getting an error saying "the provided image does not appear to be valid" for images I have scheduled with Buffer many times! (Not on here much any more, but please fix this!)

@kalynskitchen Yikes, that's not great. Are you seeing this using the mobile app or web dashboard? 🤔 -Julia

@koenfucius Thanks for letting us know it's better now. If it crops up again though, please flag and we'll dig into it! -Dave

@buffer Hello, thanks! The problem seems to have gone away—I’ve not experienced it since yesterday midday GMT. it was intermittent, so less likely to be a code issue.

@buffer Hello! Using the most recent iOS app, I get random, but frequent “whoops, the image provided does not appear to be valid” when saving a post (new, or after editing). After a few more attempts it eventually succeeds without error (within minutes, but sometimes longer).

@loganix Hi! We have a home for all our research like this: buffer.com/insights Please let us know if there's something you'd be keen to see us add here! -Dave

@buffer how about X and linkedin?

We analyzed 7.1 million TikTok posts to find the best times to post in 2026. Short answer: not when you'd think ↓

@altryne @n8n_io @typefully We're an official partner with X, so we have to follow specific rules. Other third party apps are sometimes not using the official API (I'm not sure about them specifically, of course!). Longer videos is definitely something we wish we could offer! -Lexi

@buffer @n8n_io I don't see this limitation in @typefully 🤔 I uploaded very long videos via them.

Testing out the in-app new Codex browser. It's pretty cool, like computer use, but feels faster, and more precise than controlling an external browser. 5.5 even on high just RIPS with /fast on there. here it rips through setting up an @n8n_io integration with @buffer (cause buffer cannot do videos over 140s on X 😡 What kind of old ass limitation is that)

@andrsnu Caroline, this is SO COOL!!! Amazing that you asked about it just yesterday, and now have already built this! I can't wait to share it with the team 🤗 -Lexi

I re-envisioned the old @buffer Rmix app, and created it during lunch. Happy post dropping! 👋📷🤓 post-drop-kit.lovable.app

@nortiz_es You can do this using our API! More info here: buffer.com/developer-api -Lexi

Hey @buffer , it would be really great if you created a connector with Claude. Have you considered this option for your product? Thanks!

@andrsnu I'm afraid it's not on the roadmap at the moment, @andrsnu! We decided to sunset it a few years ago, and don't have plans to bring it back. It warms my heart to know that you still enjoy it! (though, sorry for the staleness 🙈) -Julia

Any chance you bringing back rmix @buffer ? I think I am the only one still using it, but some features are looking a bit stale.

YouTube is a long game. Instagram and TikTok give you quicker wins. YouTube takes months of consistency before things compound. But when they do, nothing else comes close for shelf life. Keep showing up!

A few more things that actually work: – Put keywords in titles, descriptions, tags, and spoken dialogue – Repurpose long-form into Shorts (and use them to test new ideas) – Post long-form in the morning, Shorts in the evening – The first 30 seconds decide everything
