+# Example with [express-session](https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session)
+
+This example shows how to share a session context between [Express](http://expressjs.com/) and [Socket.IO](https://socket.io/docs/v4/):
+
+![Video of the example](assets/demo.gif)
+
+Please read the related guide: https://socket.io/how-to/use-with-express-session
+
+## How to use
+
+```
+$ npm install
+$ npm start
+```
+
+And point your browser to `http://localhost:3000`. Optionally, specify a port by supplying the `PORT` env variable.
