Troubleshooting

🛑Connection fails

  • Confirm you’re logging into the correct Facebook account (especially if managing multiple pages).

  • Check that browser pop-ups are allowed.

  • Try reconnecting using an incognito window.

Permissions issue

  • Reconnect and approve all requested permissions for Vimmi Video Commerce.

  • Make sure you have Admin access for any Facebook Page you’re trying to connect.

Wrong account or Page

  • Go to Settings → Destinations, remove the wrong connection.

  • Reconnect and select the correct Profile or Page.

FAQ

Q1: Can I connect both a Profile and a Page?

Yes! You can connect your personal Facebook Profile and one or more Pages separately — each will appear as a unique destination in Vimmi.

Q2: Do I need a Business Page for live streaming?

It’s recommended. Pages have additional analytics and permissions for professional use, while Profiles are best for personal sharing.

Q3: Can I disconnect later?

Yes — go to Settings → Destinations, find the Facebook connection, and click Remove Connection.

Q4: Can I switch from Profile to Page?

Yes — simply remove your current connection and reconnect, selecting Facebook Page instead.
