# Your First Session
What to expect in your first Vrex review session
Joining your first Vrex session? Here's what to expect and how to make the most of it.

## Before the Session

### Check Your Setup

- [ ] Vrex is installed ([Desktop](/v2/start/desktop/), [Streaming](/v2/start/streaming/), or [Go](/v2/start/go/))
- [ ] You can log in and see the lobby
- [ ] Your headset or PC is charged
- [ ] You have the session invite link

### Find a Good Space

For VR sessions:
- Clear about 2m x 2m of floor space
- Check for obstacles at head height
- Ensure good Wi-Fi signal

For desktop:
- Headphones for clear audio
- Quiet environment for discussion

## Joining the Session

1. Open Vrex (desktop app or VR)
2. Click the **session invite link**, or find the session in your lobby
3. Enter the waiting area
4. The host will admit you when ready

## Session Etiquette

### Communication

- **Mute when not speaking** - reduces background noise
- **Announce yourself** - "I'm looking at the east wall"
- **Use the laser** - point at what you're discussing
- **Ask to draw** - before marking up shared views

### Navigation

- **Follow the host** during guided portions
- **Ask before exploring** independently
- **Stay oriented** - use the minimap to find others
- **Move slowly** in VR to avoid disorientation

## Common Session Activities

### Guided Walkthrough

The host leads everyone through key areas. Follow along and ask questions at designated stops.

### Free Exploration

Participants spread out to investigate specific areas. Regroup when the host calls.

### Issue Review

Mark up problems as you find them:
1. Navigate to the issue
2. Use drawing tools to highlight
3. Take a screenshot
4. Add a note describing the problem

### Decision Points

When the team needs to decide something:
- Everyone gathers at the relevant location
- The host presents options
- Discussion happens in context
- Decisions get documented

## After the Session

- **Screenshots** are saved to your Vrex account
- **Issues** sync to your project management tool (if integrated)
- **Session recordings** may be available (ask the host)
- **Follow-up tasks** should be assigned before everyone leaves

## Tips for Success

1. **Arrive early** - test your setup 5 minutes before
2. **Stay engaged** - it's obvious when someone zones out in VR
3. **Be specific** - "the red pipe on floor 3" beats "that thing"
4. **Take notes** - or designate a note-taker
5. **Ask questions** - there are no dumb questions in a design review
