Channels & presence
Presence member
A presence member is a user identity represented in a presence channel, optionally accompanied by application-defined information such as a display name or avatar.
Also found under: Member list, User info
How it works
A person and a network connection are different things: one person can open several tabs. Design the identity you send deliberately and avoid exposing sensitive profile fields to other room members. Membership updates describe current participation, not a permanent user directory.
In a Pubb integration
Pubb presence authorization supplies a user ID and optional user information. The JavaScript SDK exposes channel.members and membership events for maintaining a participant list.
Understand channel accessA practical example
Your backend signs user 42 with a display name and avatar URL. Other authorized participants can render that profile summary without receiving an email address or private account data.
