### Live Help

For live help, you can join [our chat](https://chat.lbry.com) and post in the #help channel. Please share a detailed message with the issue you are experiencing. LBRY log files are a good source of information for us; you can learn how to [find them here](/faq/how-to-find-lbry-log-file).

## Help via Email

You can also [email LBRY](mailto:help@lbry.com) with questions or issues. LBRY log files will help us better understand the issue you are experiencing, you can learn how to [find them here](/faq/how-to-find-lbry-log-file) and attach with your email.

### Reporting Issues

To report an issue, you can do one of the following:

1. Send us an email to [help@lbry.com](mailto:help@lbry.com) with the details of your issue or bug report. If it's troubleshooting related, please attach [your LBRY log file](/faq/how-to-find-lbry-log-file).

<script>!function(e,o,n){window.HSCW=o,window.HS=n,n.beacon=n.beacon||{};var t=n.beacon;t.userConfig={},t.readyQueue=[],t.config=function(e){this.userConfig=e},t.ready=function(e){this.readyQueue.push(e)},o.config={docs:{enabled:!1,baseUrl:""},contact:{enabled:!0,formId:"8cb33eba-c927-11e8-ab20-0ee9bb0328ce"}};var r=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0],c=e.createElement("script");c.type="text/javascript",c.async=!0,c.src="https://djtflbt20bdde.cloudfront.net/",r.parentNode.insertBefore(c,r)}(document,window.HSCW||{},window.HS||{});</script>

3. If you're a developer or otherwise technical and want to interact with LBRY developers directly, you're welcome to open an issue directly on GitHub. Please try to open network or protocol related issues [here](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/issues) and interface, usability, and other application related issues [here](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues). The penalty for getting this wrong is a mild shaming. We would appreciate a quick search to see if similar issues already exist, as well.
