# Register your Instagram accounts

Go to My accounts in the left menu and choose "Register an account". You can register as many Instagram accounts as you run. Accounts must be public, and only Creator or Business accounts can have views verified.

Your Viewzar username is your login. The Instagram handles you post from are separate **registered accounts**, and you can have as many as you like.

## Register an account

1. Open **My accounts** in the left menu.
2. Click **Register an account**.
3. Sign in to Instagram and allow Viewzar to read your profile, reels and their insights.
4. You come back to My accounts, with the new account listed and marked **Verified**.

You can also register an account while submitting a reel: in the account dropdown choose **+ Register another account**. You return to the form with the new account selected.

## Which accounts are eligible

- **Public accounts only.** Private accounts are not eligible, because brands and our team must be able to see the reel.
- **Creator or Business accounts for paid views.** Instagram shares view counts only for professional accounts. A personal account can be registered, but it is marked "Personal account: views cannot be verified" and its reels cannot be paid until it switches. Switching is free: in Instagram, go to Settings → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account.
- **One owner.** An Instagram account can be registered to only one Viewzar account.

## What My accounts shows

For each account: the handle (linked to the Instagram profile), its name on Instagram, followers, account type, status, how many reels you submitted from it, and its verified views.

## Remove or reconnect

- **Remove** stops us reading that account. Reels already submitted keep their history.
- If Instagram stops sharing data (for example after a password change), the account shows **Reconnect**. Click it and sign in again.

Viewzar never posts anything on your behalf.
