Troubleshoot Claude Connection Issues

If you can’t connect Synthesia or Synthesia tools don’t work as expected in Claude, try these steps.

If you sign in to Synthesia with SSO and can’t connect, ask your IT admin to confirm that your organization uses WorkOS for Synthesia sign-in.
If you’re on a Team or Enterprise workspace and can’t find Synthesia, ask your Claude workspace admin to add the Synthesia connector first.
If Claude shows “Authorization with Synthesia failed,” remove the Synthesia connector, and then add the connector again from the Claude web app.
If the sign-in error comes from a website that isn’t Synthesia, your organization may route connector sign-in through its own system. Contact your IT team.
If new Synthesia tools don’t appear, restart the Claude desktop or web app to refresh the connection.
