To help resolve technical issues with Shadow, we may request logs from the device currently experiencing issues. These logs help us troubleshoot issues and share information to improve Shadow. See how to send logs to Shadow and find operating system logs.

📝 Note: At this time, it is only possible to send logs from Windows, macOS, Ubuntu (Linux), terminals (Shadow BoxV1 and Shadow Ghost), tvOS, iOS and Android operating systems.

If you're experiencing issues on a different operating system, use one of the systems listed above to reproduce the issue and send logs.

Send Logs to Shadow

A notification will appear with a code. Please click Copy and close, note your local time and today's date, and include all of this information in your reply.

Our Support team will forward this code to our internal teams, who will use these logs to learn more about your recent session and issues you've experienced, if any have occurred.
