# EndSession SignalR server method

> EndSession SignalR server method for PlayFab Lobby and Matchmaking real-time messages, cleanly closing an active subscription session and its connection handle.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The REST and SignalR APIs documented here are more complex than the client SDKs. Consider using the [Lobby C++ SDK](https://docs.xbox.com/services/playfab/multiplayer/lobby/playfabmultiplayerreference-cpp/pflobby/pflobby_members.md) or [Matchmaking C++ SDK](https://docs.xbox.com/services/playfab/multiplayer/lobby/playfabmultiplayerreference-cpp/pfmatchmaking/pfmatchmaking_members.md) instead, unless those SDKs don't meet your needs.

End the session.
