Inviting others to your Session

For any Session or Event other than a private Session, you can invite other people to join you. If someone is a connection, you can invite them directly. Otherwise, they can join through use of a Session ID.

If your Session is protected with a password, the person that you invite will need to enter the password to join the Session.
