Where available, I updated text and spee.ch photo links of ‘/faq/how-to-publish’
to reflect the recent change in the legal relationship between LBRY and Odysee. However, more photos need to be added to spee.ch to show the channel creation/modification processes in the LBRY Desktop app. When that happens, the remaining photos will need to be appropriately replaced and the following paragraph removed: ‘The following images show the user interface for Odysee.com. Never fear! The process and appearance is almost identical to LBRY Desktop as of December 2021.’ I also fixed several spelling/grammar/formatting mistakes and added some white space to improve readability.

## How do I publish content?
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Under the `Upload` section, 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Give your content a name which could be the same as your title but with no spaces. You can use `-` in place of the space.
|
||||
4. Next, type the title for your content.
|
||||
5. After entering the title, click browse to browse the content you want to publish.
|
||||
5. After entering the title, click `Browse` to browse the content you want to publish.
|
||||
|
||||
6. On your local machine, select the content you wish to upload to LBRY. For video content, LBRY works best with MP4 files in H264/AAC format which support proper streaming (see [video publishing guide for details](/faq/video-publishing-guide)). Besides videos, other popular formats supported are MP3s, text documents like markdown (md)/HTML, PDF, CSV, and comic books (cbr, cbz). In the future, the in app player may support additional formats.
|
||||
|
||||
Other file types can also be uploaded, but won't be streamable via Odysee directly. They can be opened externally for viewing on the LBRY Desktop/Android apps.
|
||||
Other file types can also be uploaded, but may not be streamable via third-party frontends (like Odysee). However, they can be opened via the LBRY Desktop/Android apps.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Enter a `Description` for your content.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
8. Choose a `Thumbnail` or `Thumbnail URL` for your content. The `Thumbnail URL` is a hyperlink to an image file which will serve as a preview for your content. It can be any image/GIF URL. The default pixel size is 800x450, but the app will scale it up/down. Images uploaded directly from your local machine as `Thumbnail` will be uploaded to [spee.ch](https://www.spee.ch).
|
||||

9. Next you can add tags to your content which will help categorize it for [discovery purposes](https://lbry.com/faq/trending).

10. Right below the tags, you will be able to check, disable, or enable viewers to leave a comment on your content.
|
||||
|
||||
11. Type in a minimum of 0.0001 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).
|
||||
|
||||
12. You should have an option to set a price on on your content or make it free.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
13. Next, there is `Additional Option` 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 in-app and odysee.com video player's streaming capability works best with the H264/AAC format, typically in an MP4 container but others like M4V will also work. Other non-streaming video types like AVI/WMV/MOV file formats are not supported by the in-app player, but they can be shared/downloaded and will play outside of the app.

Since LBRY is a Peer-to-Peer network, it requires that your device is accessible to the internet. LBRY also runs servers to assist in content hosting, but this process may fail if your device cannot send it to us or if you didn't wait long enough after the initial publish. Try quitting (Ctrl-Q) and restarting the LBRY app if the content is not accessible on [odysee.com](https://odysee.com).
