Here you can change behavior of notifications for your account (note that this changes will affect all devices running Riot, hopefully in the future we will be able to change notifications settings per device).

## Devices
A list of devices connected to your account. You can view the devices ID, general information about the devices origin such as it's name, the url it connected to, operating system and browser name (if connected via the browser), it's IP and the time it last made the connection to your account. You can also delete devices you no longer use. If you see a suspicious device or IP you're never used it might mean your account has been compromised. You should immediately logout (this will logout all devices), and change your password. Not logging out will not result in the compromised device logging back in. Be careful not to rush to conclusions too quickly! Study the list to be sure before you run around all paranoid.

# Room Directory
The coolest thing about matrix is the fact that its totally federated. It means you can join any channel on any server. In Room directory you can search for and discover rooms on friendly servers we have listed (list will keep growing) as well as search for rooms on servers (if you know the servers URL). All public rooms of given server are listed in the main window.

# Joining Channel
# Joining a Channel
You can join a room in many ways.
The most straight forward way to join public rooms is to search for them in room directory. You can either choose a room from the list given by the predefined servers or search for the room on the server you know the address of.
