View and Save Console Log

Sometimes, Gather may not be able to load content into your browser. To help us troubleshoot this issue, the Gather Support Team may ask you to send in a console log of the webpage where the issue is happening.

Create a Console Log

To open the developer console window on Chrome, use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+J on Windows or cmd+option+J on Mac. To open the developer console window on Firefox, use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+K on Windows or cmd+option+K on Mac.

A pane will open in the browser with the Console tab active. Right click anywhere in the Console pane. Select Save as to produce a .log file, which is the same console information in text form. (No personal information is included with these.)

A Gather Space with the browser console log open. Several warnings and one error display in the log, and the right click menu is open and outlined in red. A text bubble reads "Right click and select Save as," which points to the right click menu. Open the Console log, then right click anywhere in the Console panel and select Save as... 

Save the error log, then attach it in your email or in the feedback form when replying to the Gather Support Team.
