# Joining an Event

If you're eligible to join an Event, you can do so after the host starts it. To identify if a host has started an Event, check if the start time in the Event list is replaced with **Live**.

To join an Event, complete the following steps:

1. Open ENGAGE, and then log in.
2. On the menu screen, select **Events**.
3. If you registered for the Event, select the **Attending** tab. Otherwise, find the Event that you want to join on one of the other tabs.
4. On the Event information page, select **JOIN NOW**.
5. If the Session requires a password, enter the password, and then select **Continue**. For more information, see [password-protected-events](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/events/password-protected-events "mention").
6. If you need to download the location, wait for the download to complete, and then select **Go now**.
