Discord
The Livepeer Discord is the primary real-time community for builders and network participants. Invite: discord.gg/livepeerChannels
BUILDERS section
BUILDERS section
#lounge — The main channel for developers. Ask questions about the API, SDKs, stream configuration, video assets, and general development. The most active support channel for application builders.#ai-research — Dedicated to Livepeer’s AI inference capabilities. Ask about the AI subnet, ComfyUI workflows, ComfyStream, the Daydream API, pipeline configuration, and GPU requirements.NETWORK section
NETWORK section
#delegating — Questions about delegating LPT, staking rewards, choosing an orchestrator, and understanding delegation mechanics.PROTOCOL section
PROTOCOL section
#governance — Discussions around Livepeer Improvement Proposals (LIPs), governance votes on the Explorer, and protocol-level decision-making.WELCOME section
WELCOME section
#landing-pad — The first stop for new community members. Good place to introduce yourself and get oriented before asking technical questions in other channels.GENERAL section
GENERAL section
#general — General ecosystem chat.#introductions — Introduce yourself to the community.Discord is best for real-time, conversational questions. For questions that deserve a permanent, searchable answer — especially detailed technical or protocol questions — the Forum is a better home.
Livepeer Forum
forum.livepeer.org The forum is the permanent knowledge base of the Livepeer community. Discussions here are indexed and searchable, making it the best place for questions that others are likely to search for in the future.Forum Categories
Help: Getting Started
Help: Getting Started
Questions for new participants — setting up wallets, delegating for the first time, understanding the network. Post here if you are stuck early in your journey.
Development
Development
Technical discussions about building applications on Livepeer — API questions, SDK issues, integration patterns, and architecture decisions. The best category for developers who need an in-depth answer.
Orchestrators
Orchestrators
Operational questions and discussions for people running orchestrator nodes — configuration, transcoding performance, reward mechanics, and GPU selection.
Protocol
Protocol
Protocol-level technical discussions — smart contracts, cryptoeconomics, bonding mechanics, and security topics.
Governance
Governance
Governance discussions and Livepeer Improvement Proposals (LIPs). Read active proposals, post feedback, or draft new proposals here before moving them to an on-chain vote.
Developer Office Hours
Bi-weekly calls with the Livepeer core team. Office Hours are the best place for synchronous, conversation-style technical help from people who built the network. They are particularly useful for:- Integration questions that require back-and-forth discussion
- Feedback on architecture decisions before building
- Questions about upcoming features or protocol changes
- Early-stage builders looking for guidance on product direction
- ComfyUI community demo sessions — Discover new demos from the ComfyUI community
- Coordinated development calls — Ongoing discussions on development coordination
- Ecosystem priority updates — Updates on ecosystem priorities, goals, and growth
GitHub Issues
For confirmed bugs, feature requests, and contribution discussions — GitHub Issues are the appropriate channel. Each repo has its own issue tracker.Livepeer Studio (API and Dashboard)
Report bugs with the Livepeer Studio dashboard, REST API, asset pipeline, or livestream behaviour. Use the issue templates provided.
go-livepeer (Node Software)
Report bugs in the orchestrator or broadcaster node software. Include go-livepeer version, OS, and reproduction steps.
Livepeer Docs
Report errors, outdated content, broken links, or missing documentation. Eight issue templates are available for different types of doc feedback.
AI Runner
Report issues with the AI inference runtime — pipeline bugs, Docker image issues, or model loading problems.
livepeer.js / React SDK
Report bugs in the JavaScript or React SDK. Include SDK version, browser/Node.js version, and a minimal reproduction.
Livepeer Protocol (Smart Contracts)
Issues with the Ethereum/Arbitrum smart contracts. For potential security vulnerabilities, use the Immunefi bug bounty programme instead.
Writing a Good Issue
Before filing an issue on any Livepeer repository:- Search first — Check whether the issue has already been reported
- Use the templates — Each repo provides issue templates; fill them out fully
- Be specific — Include versions, error messages, and reproduction steps
- One issue per report — Do not combine multiple bugs in a single issue
Livepeer Studio Support
If you have a billing question, account issue, or need to contact Livepeer Inc about a commercial use case, the in-app support options inside Livepeer Studio are the appropriate route. For API access enquiries, enterprise use cases, or partnership discussions, contact the team via the Dev Hub at livepeer.org/dev-hub.Security Vulnerabilities and Bug Bounties
For confirmed or suspected security vulnerabilities in Livepeer’s smart contracts or protocol: Immunefi Bug Bounty: immunefi.com/bug-bounty/livepeer The programme covers smart contracts on Arbitrum and Ethereum. Rewards are paid in USDC. KYC is required for payout. A proof-of-concept (PoC) is required for all web/app reports.Community and Social
For less formal conversation, ecosystem news, and community announcements:Discord
The primary community hub — join for real-time chat with builders, orchestrators, delegators, and core team members.
Livepeer Forum

Community discussions on Reddit — primarily ecosystem news and general protocol discussion.
Telegram
Livepeer has a Telegram presence for community updates. Find the link at the Community Hub on livepeer.org.
Twitter / X
Follow @Livepeer for protocol news, product launches, and ecosystem highlights. Not monitored for technical support queries.
Livepeer Blog
The official blog for in-depth technical articles, ecosystem stories, vision posts, and product announcements.

If you are building something substantial on Livepeer and need funding:Livepeer Grants Programme
Open and Video Disruptor grant tracks for builders creating tools, applications, or educational content for the ecosystem.
Livepeer Bounties
Scoped software bounties for specific tasks on the Livepeer protocol — a good entry point for open-source contributors.
Builder Accelerator
A bespoke 3-month programme for ambitious startups — grant funding, mentorship, investor access, and technical support.
If you are unsure which channel to use: start with Discord
#lounge for quick development questions, the Forum for technical questions that deserve a permanent answer, and GitHub Issues for confirmed bugs with reproduction steps.
