# Rooms

Video conferencing takes place inside rooms.  Each room has a unique URL which people can visit to participate inside the conference. You can either rely on the API to auto-generate the URL, or you can explicitly specify it when you create the room.

You will always start integrating by [creating](https://docs.digitalsamba.com/reference/rest-api/rooms/create) a room.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can limit the max length of a room's session by using the **session\_length** property when creating/editing a room. The property is accepting the amount of minutes after which each session automatically ends.
{% endhint %}

You can also [edit](https://docs.digitalsamba.com/reference/rest-api/rooms/edit) the room after creating it or [delete](https://docs.digitalsamba.com/reference/rest-api/rooms/delete) it if you don't want to use it anymore.

There is also a possibility to [list](https://docs.digitalsamba.com/reference/rest-api/rooms/list) all of the rooms which you have created.

You can [list the details](https://docs.digitalsamba.com/reference/rest-api/list#request-get-a-concrete-room) of a concrete room too.

#### Sessions

A **session** automatically starts when a participant enters an empty room without an active session. \
A **session** automatically ends when all people leave the room and it is empty for 5 minutes. 

Sessions are just for easy reasoning and navigation in the dashboard when you are reviewing the conferences which have happened in a room - e.g. you will be able to see that 30 people participated in the room from 09:00 to 11:30 on January 16.
