# Joining with a Session ID

A Session ID is six characters long and includes lowercase letters and numbers.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before the release of ENGAGE v3.7, a Session ID was five characters long and could also include uppercase letters. You can still use an old Session ID to access a persistent Session, but we recommend that you use the new Session IDs. See, [finding-a-session-id](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/sessions/finding-a-session-id "mention").
{% endhint %}

To use a Session ID to join a Session, complete the following steps:

1. On the menu screen, select **Join Session**.
2. On the **Join Session** page, select **Join Session by ID**.
3. On the **Join Session by ID** page, enter the Session ID, and then select **JOIN**.
4. If the Session requires a password, enter the password, and then select **Continue**.
5. If you need to download the location, wait for the download to complete, and then select **Go now**.
