User mailing-lists

The VideoLAN user mailing-lists are dedicated to:

  • user support for VideoLAN software,
  • announces for VideoLAN releases and events.

They are English-speaking mailing-lists.

Before posting in those mailing-lists, please see the online archives.

All the mailing-lists are in "closed-post" mode, which mean that messages from people who are not subscribed to the list need to go through a moderation process, which can take many hours, but is a necessary evil to avoid spam. The exception is the videolan-announce list, which is fully moderated.
