<h1>Community support</h1>
<p>If you run into problems using HandBrake, first take a look at this documentation&rsquo;s <a href="../table-of-contents.html">Table of contents</a>—the information you need may be just a click away.</p>
<p>Didn&rsquo;t find it? Keep reading.</p>
<h2>Activity Logs</h2>
<p>Activity logs explain a lot and are <strong>required</strong> for all support requests. More information about [Activity Logs] (TODO: link).</p>
<h2>Community Forums</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://forum.handbrake.fr/">HandBrake Community Forums</a> are available 24/7. Whether you have a support request or simply want to connect with other HandBrake users, this is the place. Registration is free. Please read and abide by our <a href="https://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=6702">Community Rules</a>.</p>
<p>If you need help or have encountered an error while using HandBrake, first take a look at our <a href="https://forum.handbrake.fr/viewforum.php?f=16">Support Forums</a> or <a href="https://forum.handbrake.fr/search.php">Search</a> using some words related to your questions. Doing this saves everyone from repeating answers to common questions. If you still haven&rsquo;t found an answer, feel free to start a new support request. Make sure to read <a href="https://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=31236">How To Request Support</a> before posting.</p>

<h2>IRC discussion channels</h2>
<p>Real-time chat is available on our <a href="http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml">Freenode</a> IRC channel, <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#handbrake">#handbrake</a>. Make sure to provide an [Activity Log] (TODO: link) when requesting support.</p>
<p>Note that HandBrake&rsquo;s developers are located in various timezones around the world, and have lives and jobs outside of HandBrake and its community. It&rsquo;s possible that nobody will be able to answer your support request on IRC right away. Be patient for awhile or ask on the forums.</p>
<p>Developer discussion happens on <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#handbrake-dev">#handbrake-dev</a>, which is moderated for the team&rsquo;s sanity. If you&rsquo;ve a developer and would like to speak on <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#handbrake-dev">#handbrake-dev</a>, you may ask politely on <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#handbrake">#handbrake</a>.</p>
