This article shows you how to find specific live sessions and review their details from the live dashboard.

## **Finding live sessions**

Once a live stream, live room, or live event session is created, you can review its details. This includes session information, recordings, and the participant list.

### Live sessions list

To access the live sessions list, go to the&nbsp;[live dashboard](/p/live-and-events/live-management/utilizing-the-live-dashboard)&nbsp;by clicking&nbsp; **Community** &nbsp;in the left sidebar, then selecting&nbsp; **Live streams**.

Live sessions are organized into two tabs:

- **All events:** Shows all live sessions, regardless of status.

- **Past events:** Shows only sessions that have finished.

By default, the table displays finished sessions first, with the most recent at the top. You can change this using the available sort and filter options.

Here’s what each column shows:

- **Name:** &nbsp;Title of the live stream or room.&nbsp;For a live event session, the event title will be displayed.

- **Type:** Whether the session is a stream or a room.

- **Status:** The current state of the live session, such as scheduled, backstage, live, or finished.

- **Date:** This indicates the date when the live session took place.

- **Recording:** Option to download the recording if available. If the session was not recorded, a **Dash** will appear instead.

- **Participants:** Total number of members who joined the instant live session or live event (visitors are excluded).

> 💡 **Tip** : Use the **Previous** and **Next** buttons at the bottom to browse through all your sessions.

### Filter sessions

Each tab includes filters that help you narrow down the list and quickly find specific sessions.

To apply filters:

1. In any tab, click **Add filter** in the filter bar.

2. Select your filter and enter the search criteria. Some filters include checkboxes so you can select multiple values.

3. Click **Apply** to confirm.

You can filter instant live sessions and event sessions using these options:

- **Name** : Search by the name of the live session or event.

- **Type** : Filter by session type, such as stream or room.

- **Status** : Filter by session status, like backstage, live, or finished.

- **Date** : Filter by a specific date range or choose from preset options.

- **Recording** : Show only sessions that were recorded.

> ℹ️ **Note** : Once you move to a different tab or move away from the live dashboard, the filters will reset.

### Sort sessions

You can also sort the table by the sortable column headers, such as name, type, status, or date.

Click a column title to sort by that field. For example, click the&nbsp; **Name** &nbsp;column to arrange sessions alphabetically. An arrow will show up to indicate the sorting order. To toggle between sort orders, click the column title again.

## **View live session details**

To view the live session details:

- Click the name of the live session, or

- Hover over the live session, click&nbsp;**More actions (three dots)**&nbsp;next to it, and click&nbsp; **View details.**

### **Details**

The **Details** tab shows key information about the session, including:

- Total duration of the live session
