# 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:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/sessions/creating-a-session.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
