# Requesting to join a connection

If one of your connections is in a Session, you can request to join them. They then have the option to approve or reject your request.

To request to join a connection, complete the following steps:

1. Choose one of the following options:
   * On the menu screen, select **Connections**.
   * If you are in a Session, open your menu or tablet, select **People** <img src="/files/bSWKe67szXvzdXu5juSY" alt="" data-size="line">, and then select **Connections**.
2. Select the connection that you want to join.
3. In the user focus panel, select **Request to join them**.

If the connection accepts your request, you will receive an invitation to join their Session. For instructions on how to use that invitation, see [Joining through an invitation](/engage/sessions/joining-a-session/joining-through-an-invitation.md).
