# Creating a Session

When you create a Session, you become the host of that Session. As a host, you have all of the permissions that are enabled by your subscription type and chosen device. For example, you can share media.

By default, any other people that join your session have more restricted permissions. They don't join as hosts, and can't, for example, add IFX or share media. However, you can choose to give additional permissions to other people. For more information, see [Host controls](/engage/host-controls.md).

The following video provides an overview of how you can create a Session:
