I Can't Complete Twitter / X Actions?

Most of the time your X login to Gleam has expired or broken, and reconnecting fixes it. All six X Actions need you to log in with X, and an expired login means the entry can't be added.

  1. On X, open Settings and privacy, then Security and account access, Apps and sessions and Connected apps. Find Gleam and revoke its access.
  2. Go back to the giveaway. If the widget still shows an old X account, or you've changed your handle, disconnect it from the widget's Edit screen.
  3. Click the X action, log in with X and approve Gleam when X asks.
  4. If nothing opens, allow pop-ups for the site, because the X login opens in a new window.

Still stuck? Try another browser. If you see a throwaway account message, the host has blocked X accounts that look unfinished (Throwaway Restriction), so add a profile picture and bio on X first.

How Do I Unlink Social Media Accounts?

Click Edit on any Gleam widget, then click the × next to the social account you want to unlink.

How Do I Link to Twitter / X?

Click on Connect Your Twitter / X Account from any Twitter / X action in the Gleam widget.

What Should I Do If My Login Has Expired?

Usually this means we cannot connect to your social network account anymore, so you need to reconnect them through the widget.

Why Am I Seeing A “Throwaway Account” Message When Connecting My X (Twitter) Account?

The host has blocked X accounts that still look like default accounts. Add a profile picture and fill in your X bio, then connect again.
