### How do I Publish content?
1. Click the `Publish` button in the top right of the screen.
![Select Choose File](https://spee.ch/0/1-click-publish.jpeg)
![Click the Publish Button](https://spee.ch/@clement:e/publish-to-lbry.png)
2. Under the `Content` section, click `Choose File`.
![Select the Content to Upload](https://spee.ch/5/choose-file-and-others.jpeg)
![Select the Content to Upload](https://spee.ch/@clement:e/choosefile-for-lbry.png)
3. On your local machine, select the content you wish to upload to LBRY. LBRY accepts any HTML5 format for video streaming; the full list can be found [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats). This means a web-optimized MP4 file is the best format. Other file types can also be uploaded, but won't be streamable via the LBRY app.
4. Enter a `Title` and `Description` for your content.
![choose a file](https://spee.ch/2/311-choose-file-and-others.jpeg)
![choose title](https://spee.ch/@clement:e/title-description.png)
5. 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, or you can use [spee.ch](https://www.spee.ch) to host it. 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).
![Choose the Thumbnail Image](https://spee.ch/6/5thumbnail.jpeg)
![Choose the Thumbnail Image](https://spee.ch/@clement:e/thumbnail2.png)
6. Please make sure to check the option for mature audiences if your `Thumbnail` is categorized as NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Otherwise just click "Upload".
![Select the Content to Upload](https://spee.ch/6/4-thumbnail44.jpeg)
7. Under the `Price`, first, determine if you want to make your content free or set a price (in USD or LBC) per view.
![Set Price](https://spee.ch/4/5-choose-a-price2.png)

8. You have the option to select/create the channel you would like to publish the content under. If one isn't selected, it will be posted anonymously.

![Select Channel or Anonymous](https://spee.ch/@clement:e/channel-choice.png)
9. Type in the URL you want the content to be found under, along with a minimum of 0.0001 LBC deposit for the upload (current limit, may change in the future). 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. Check out the `#content` channel on our [Discord chat](https://chat.lbry.io) to see this information (search for your URL). For more details regarding the URL or bid, check out our [naming document](https://lbry.io/faq/naming).
![Video URL and Deposit](https://spee.ch/e/8content-urlf.jpeg)
![Video URL and Deposit](https://spee.ch/@clement:e/naming-channel.png)
10. Next, there are selections for `Maturity`, `Language`, and `License`. The default values are set as follows: Maturity being unchecked, which means the content is safe for all audiences, 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. Please check the `Mature audience only` option if your content is NSFW.

11. Read and agree to the terms of service.
*please review our terms of service before publishing [terms of service](https://lbry.io/termsofservice)
12. Click `Publish`.
![Click Publish](https://spee.ch/2/publish.jpeg)
Click `Publish`.
13. The file will process in the background and will be added to the LBRY Blockchain. Larger files will take longer to upload depending on your network speed. Please leave LBRY running while your content is in the "pending confirmation" mode. Currently, this page will not automatically refresh. You can continue to use LBRY while the upload completes.
