# Joining a persistent or commercial Session

To join a persistent or commercial Session, choose a method from one of the sections below.

## Using a Session ID

{% hint style="info" %}
After you create a persistent or commercial Session, its Session ID doesn't change. You can use the same Session ID any time that you want to join the Session.
{% endhint %}

1. Find the Session ID for the Session you want to join. For more information, see [Finding a Session ID](/engage/sessions/finding-a-session-id.md).
2. Use the Session ID to join the Session. For more information see [Joining with a Session ID](/engage/sessions/joining-a-session/joining-with-a-session-id.md).

## Using a quick link

If you know the Session ID, you can use a quick link to join Session. Because the Session ID for persistent and commercial Sessions doesn't change, the quick link doesn't change.

* To create a quick link, add the session ID to the end of the web manager address. For example, if the Session ID is `abc123`, you can use `https://app.engagevr.io/abc123` as the quick link.

{% hint style="info" %}
An actual quick link has a slightly different structure to the address described above. However, the above address with redirect to a quick link when someone uses it. For more information about quick links, see [Joining through a quick link](/engage/sessions/joining-a-session/joining-through-a-quick-link.md).
{% endhint %}

## Using the list of live Sessions

Persistent and commercial Sessions are displayed in the list of live Sessions for the Enterprise group that they belong to. To join a persistent or commercial Session, go to the list of live Sessions, and then select your Enterprise group. For more information, see [Joining a listed Session](/engage/sessions/joining-a-session/joining-a-listed-session.md).

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
