Hi, i’m using the Video SDK Web, i just noticed that it will generate more than 1 video if i left the room and rejoined the room again with the same topic and password, my question is : is it possible that if i rejoin the same video/ room using the same topic, password or session id even i just leave the room? please help me, many thanks in advance! ---

Hi @it.apps2 , Within your code, are you calling the leave method on your client (`client.leave()`) when you exit the session? Thanks, Rehema ---

Hi @it.apps2 , Calling the client will not automatically end the session, unless you are host and pass in the parameter `end: true`. So, your session is not ended when you leave. Thanks, Rehema ---

Hi @rehema.zoom, yup, i already using client.leave( ) method without passing any parameter(empty) when i leave the room, but when i tried to rejoin the room again using the same topic it will generate new session id again( it got more than 1 session id with the same topic when i checked the recordings cloud result). do you have any solutions for this ? thanks in advance!. ---

Hey @it.apps2 Topics are reusable. When a session with the same topic is in progress, it will join that session; otherwise, a new session will be created. The situation you mentioned may occur when the `client.leave` is called and it’s the last user in the session. The next time a session with the same topic is joined, a new session will be created, resulting in a new session ID. > **[Video SDK - web - Sessions](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/web/sessions/#join-parameters)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.
