# Listen to Socket.IO events

You can configure Socket.IO requests to listen to specific events. The **Response** pane displays the received events that the request is listening to. Events are color coded to make them more identifiable.

To listen to a new event, do the following:

1. In your Socket.IO request, click **Events**.
2. Click ![Add icon](https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-add-stroke.svg#icon) or click the **Add event** box.
3. Enter a name and description for the event.
4. Click **Listen** next to an event to turn listening on or off for that event.

   > To delete the event listener, hover over the event and click ![Delete icon](https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/icons/icon-delete-red-v10-19.jpg#icon) **Delete**.
