Muse for social media growth

vidIQ for Meta Muse connects Meta’s AI assistant to your linked YouTube analytics, YouTube keyword and video research, and public Reels and TikTok discovery. Connecting is free; tool use draws from your shared vidIQ credits.

Yes, with vidIQ connected. Link your YouTube channel to your vidIQ account, then ask Muse about views, watch time, subscribers and which videos or Shorts beat your usual numbers.

Muse uses the YouTube channel linked to the vidIQ account you authorize, not a channel inferred from your Muse login. If the wrong channel appears, check your linked channels in vidIQ and reconnect using the intended vidIQ account.

Yes. You can research public channel and video stats, topics, titles and available transcripts. Private YouTube analytics, such as watch time and audience retention, require a channel linked to your own authorized vidIQ account. Researching a competitor does not reveal their private analytics.

Muse can already browse websites and use other connectors. vidIQ adds authorized YouTube analytics, YouTube keyword estimates and outlier datasets. Instagram and TikTok tools here research public content, not private account analytics or publishing.

Connecting is free on every vidIQ plan, including Free. Tool calls draw from your plan’s shared credits, the same balance you use in the vidIQ app and in other AI tools. Ask "Use vidIQ to check my credit balance" to see what you have left.

Credits are charged per tool call, not per chat message. A single request can use several tools or repeat a tool, so its total depends on the calls Muse makes. The tools table on this page shows per-call rates; check your shared vidIQ credit balance before a larger research task.

In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors. If vidIQ is available for your account, select Connect, review the information and continue to vidIQ sign-in. Authorize the connection, then ask Muse to use vidIQ. Availability can depend on your account, region and Muse app.

No. Use the vidIQ connector in Muse and sign in with your vidIQ account. This connection uses OAuth authorization, so you do not need to generate or paste an API key.

Yes. Ask Muse to use vidIQ to find breakout Shorts on YouTube, or breakout Reels and TikToks on a topic. You get the videos, the accounts behind them and how far each one beat its usual views.

Yes. With vidIQ connected, you can score a title or thumbnail, generate title ideas, create a thumbnail from a prompt and refine a thumbnail by describing a change. Scores are guidance, not a guarantee of clicks or views. Generation and scoring use the credits listed in the tools table.

Start with one goal: review your channel, research a topic or find breakout videos. The prompt library on this page has ready-to-copy starting points. Replace any bracketed placeholders with your details, then paste the prompt into Muse. Starting with "Use vidIQ to" makes the tool request explicit.

Check that vidIQ shows as connected in Settings → Connectors, and start your prompt with "Use vidIQ to…". If Muse can’t see your channel, ask "Use vidIQ to list my connected channels." The channel must be linked to the vidIQ account you signed in with.

vidIQ uses OAuth rather than sharing your password with Muse. Review the connection permissions and any tool-use approval prompts; when Muse asks depends on the action and your permission settings. Manage permissions in Muse’s Settings → Permissions, disconnect under Settings → Connectors, or revoke access in vidIQ under Account Settings → MCP. See Meta’s connector approvals guide.
