## Technical questions

For help with technical or algorithmic questions, visit
[Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mediapipe) to find
answers and support from the MediaPipe community.

## Bugs and feature requests

To report bugs or make feature requests,
[file an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/google/mediapipe/issues).

If you open a GitHub issue, here is our policy:

1. It must be a bug, a feature request, or a significant problem with documentation (for small doc fixes please send a PR instead).
2. The form below must be filled out.

**Here's why we have that policy**: MediaPipe developers respond to issues. We want to focus on work that benefits the whole community, e.g., fixing bugs and adding features. Support only helps individuals. GitHub also notifies thousands of people when issues are filed. We want them to see you communicating an interesting problem, rather than being redirected to Stack Overflow.
