What this flow does

The app shows the cloud phone's screen and relays your clicks and typing to that phone. You sign in to Facebook there, not to a Facebook session in your local browser. The Facebook session stays on the phone after the sign-in dialog ends.

Before you start

Be a workspace owner or admin with access to the intended profile and available cloud-phone controls.
Have access to that Facebook account, its password and any two-factor or identity-confirmation method Facebook requests.
Review the cloud-use disclosure. A password is optional; choose manual sign-in if you do not want to save it.
Use the correct Facebook account. The app refuses a different account for an already-linked profile and detects accounts already assigned to another profile or cloud phone in this workspace.

Prepare the phone

Open Connections, the Facebook-group connection's Manage groups, and select the profile under Facebook profiles. Use Manage connection to open its connection controls.
If a phone has not been set up, choose Connect a cloud phone. For a new Facebook profile, + Add profile offers Cloud phone where available.
Wait for Preparing the phone…. The page explains if preparation is taking longer and you can return later when the sign-in button is available.
Choose Sign into Facebook on the phone. A connected phone also offers Sign in again to reopen its sign-in flow.

Use the live phone screen

Wait in Sign in on your cloud phone while Starting your cloud phone… is shown. The UI estimates about 5 minutes on a first start and about 2 on later starts; these are estimates, not completion guarantees.
Keep the window open for Facebook to appear. If Keep setting up meanwhile is offered, it keeps the startup running behind the app's status bar; use Open to return. Ordinary cancellation is not the same as that background option.
Click the email/phone field on the phone screen, then type. The indicator changes from Click the phone screen to type to Keyboard → phone when the phone has keyboard focus. Click the password field and enter the password there.
Complete the sign-in on the phone screen. If Facebook requests a two-factor code, CAPTCHA or identity check, complete it there. Scroll the phone view when needed.
After You're signed in. If Facebook asks to save your login or trust this device, confirm now., respond to those Facebook prompts during the displayed hold/countdown.
Complete Choose your Facebook identities when offered, selecting the person and/or Pages, then Connect selected. Group import follows the selected identities. If importing continues in the background, it does not require repeating sign-in.
Return to the connection card and check The phone is connected, identity readiness and any warmup message. Review publishing-device settings; sign-in alone does not select cloud publishing.

For keyboard navigation of the phone screen, the UI supports moving the tap point with arrow keys and pressing Enter or Space, then typing. Shift+Tab leaves the phone keyboard.

Automatic sign-in offers Facebook email or phone and Password. Read the disclosure and provide the required I agree consent before saving; choose I'll sign in myself to use the live phone flow instead.

The description says normal relay typing is not saved, while credentials you explicitly choose to save for automatic sign-in are kept encrypted. Password saved. This does not confirm a Facebook sign-in. is an important distinction: check the actual phone connection afterwards.

The card shows saved/expiry times and when replacement is allowed. Use Replace password when offered. A password can only be changed once every 24 hours; follow the displayed next-change time rather than repeatedly submitting it. Automatic sign-in may still require human help for two-factor, a Facebook checkpoint or CAPTCHA. After three automatic attempts in 24 hours, the app directs you to sign in manually.

If something goes wrong

Symptom	What to do
Blank Facebook page	Follow the message to retry in a few minutes. If the app says it gave the phone a new connection, choose Sign into Facebook on the phone again.
Slow after startup	Allow a few moments for the phone to settle; do not create a second connection just because the first frames are slow.
Time is up or sign-in cancelled	Reopen sign-in and complete it within the new session's displayed time.
Wrong Facebook account	Sign in with the account linked to this profile. If it belongs to another existing profile, use the intended separate account instead.
Saved password rejected	Use Replace password when permitted, or sign in manually.
Manual sign-in required	Complete the two-factor, checkpoint or CAPTCHA instruction on the phone. Saved credentials do not bypass Facebook checks.
Phone entry may still be running	Wait while controls are blocked and the action is reconciled rather than sending overlapping input.
Could not import groups	Once connected, use Sync now in the profile's group management later. Sign-in and group import are separate steps.
Phone connected but publishing waits	Check identity choice, warmup, publishing pause and device setting. Safety does not use the cloud; video requires the browser.
Post may have landed / Needs verification	Check the Facebook group before publishing again to avoid a duplicate.

Sign out or remove a saved password

Choose Disconnect from cloud phone and read the confirmation. It signs Facebook out, wipes phone-browser data and deletes the saved password. Groups and campaigns remain; a post already being sent may finish. If Facebook has not yet signed in and only a password was saved, the password-only confirmation explains that it deletes the password without a phone session to disconnect.
