# Creating a Jam

> Install the Chrome extension or iOS app and share your first bug report in seconds. Every report includes console logs, network requests, and device info.

Jam captures bugs with full technical context (console logs, network requests, user events, and device metadata) automatically attached to every capture. You can create Jams on desktop using the Chrome extension or on mobile using the iOS app.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a capture method">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a description and create">
    Add a description, then click **Create**. Your Jam opens in a new tab with all technical details included, and the link is automatically copied to your clipboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share or file a ticket">
    Paste the Jam link into Slack, a Jira ticket, a GitHub issue, or wherever your team tracks bugs. You can also send it directly to an integration from the Jam share page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use keyboard shortcuts to capture even faster. Open the extension popup or trigger Instant Replay without leaving the page you're debugging. See [keyboard shortcuts](/keyboard-shortcuts) for the full list.
