Joining and Leaving

How to join​

You can join a room or session in several ways:

  • Discover feed — Browse active rooms and sessions on the Discover tab and tap to join
  • Search — Find rooms, sessions, or creators by keyword in the Search tab
  • Share link — Tap a link shared by someone else to go directly to the room
  • Invite — Accept an invitation from a connection
  • Notification — Tap a push notification when someone you follow goes live

What happens when you join​

  • Your avatar appears in the participant list
  • In campfire rooms, your mic starts unmuted — you can speak immediately
  • In stage sessions, you join as a listener with your mic muted

Leaving a room​

Tap the Leave button in the in-room controls to exit at any time. You can rejoin as long as the room or session is still active.

What happens to your data when you leave​

  • Your audio stops being transmitted immediately
  • In-session chat messages are ephemeral and not retained
  • If the session generates an AI summary, you can find it in your Library
  • If you were in a recorded session, your audio up to the point of leaving is included in the recording (only if you consented as a speaker)

Disconnections​

If your connection drops unexpectedly, Aria will attempt to reconnect you automatically. If the reconnection fails:

  • You'll see a disconnection notice with an option to rejoin
  • If the session has ended in the meantime, you'll be taken to the post-session summary instead
