+## Transient data
+
+Transient data can be used to share data in a room that is valid while sessions
+are still connected to the room. This can be used for example to have a shared
+state in a meeting without having each client to request data from the Nextcloud
+server. The data is automatically cleared when the last session disconnects.
+
+Sessions must be in a room and need the permission flag `transient-data` in
+order to set or remove values. All sessions in a room automatically receive
+all transient data update events.
+
+Transient data is supported if the server returns the `transient-data` feature
+id in the [hello response](#establish-connection).
