Join channels

Requires App Context

To set up and manage channel membership, you must enable App Context for your app's keyset in the Admin Portal.

Join() connects a user to a given channel and sets membership by creating a new Membership object that holds the user-channel relationship. This way, the chat user can both watch the channel's content and be its full-fledged member.

After joining, the OnMessageReceived event is triggered when a message is received. You must handle the event to receive the message.
