• Open the room list (Tools->Room List...)
• Click the "Get List" button

Auth Issues?

If you're getting "Bad Username/Password" errors, and you're definitely sure that you're using the right username/password, or if your Rocket.Chat instance uses a 3rd party for authentication (eg Ookla, Google or Microsoft) then you'll need to make a Personal Access Token:

• In the official Rocket.Chat app, click on your profile then My Account -> Personal Access Token
• Add a new PAT without 2FA
• Copy-paste the token and user-id fields into Tools -> Accounts -> {Your rocket.chat account} -> Advanced -> Personal Access Token (and User ID) fields in Pidgin More info about PATs at https://docs.rocket.chat/guides/user-guides/user-panel/managing-your-account/personal-access-token
