### How do I Publish content? {#publish}
1. Tap on the 3 horizontal bars on the upper left side of the app next to the Search bar.
2. Select the option for `New publish`
![Click the Publish Button](https://spee.ch/d/publish-button.png)
3. Choose the option for publishing your content either by recording a live video, taking a picture or picking a file from your gallery.
![Choose an option]https://spee.ch/4/chooses.png)
4. Enter a `Title` and `Description` for your content.
5. Next you can add tags to your content which will help categorize it for [discovery purposes](https://lbry.com/faq/trending). If it's intended for mature audiences, please add the pink `mature` tag. Next, determine any other tags that relate to the content you are publishing. Please be mindful of accuracy when tagging content as this is currently up to the publisher only and cannot be edited. If incorrect/inappropriate tags are used, your content may be filtered to provide a better user experience. In the future, this will be done through community voting and building a web of trust.
![publish process](https://spee.ch/1/pub4.png)
6. You have the option to select/create the channel you would like to publish the content under. If no channel is selected, it will be posted anonymously.
![Select Channel or Anonymous](https://spee.ch/c/chan-anonym.png)
7.Under the `Price`, first, determine if you want to make your content free or set a price in LBC per view.
8. Type in the URL you want the content to be found under, along with a minimum of 0.00000001 LBC deposit for the upload (default amount is higher due to publishing fees). If you are trying to outbid a user-friendly/common URL, the system will suggest a minimum bid to take over the content at that vanity URL. There may be a delay for this takeover. Making your bid higher will result in (better discovery)[https://lbry.com/faq/trending) for your content. For more details regarding the URL or bid, check out our [naming document](/faq/naming).
![Video URL and Deposit](https://spee.ch/8/video-url.png)
9. Next, there is `Show extra fields` which gives you an option to select language and license. Default language is set to `English`, and the License is set to `None`. If a change is needed, click the dropdown menus and select the appropriate choice.

The file will process in the background and will be added to the LBRY Blockchain. It is a good idea to leave LBRY open for a while after this to make sure the app is able to share your file to at least one peer on the data network. Larger files will take longer to upload depending on your network speed.
