* Navigate to **Administration** > **Workspace** > **Registration** for workspaces above Rocket.Chat `6.0` or **Administration** > **Workspace** > **Connectivity Services** for workspaces below `6.0`.

## Introduction

Connecting your workplace to the cloud gives you access to interact with services like

* [Mobile push notifications gateway](https://funke-olasupo.gitbook.io/user-guide/use-rocket.chat/rocket.chat-mobile/push-notifications)
* [Apps Marketplace](https://www.rocket.chat/marketplace)
* Live Chat Omnichannel proxy
* OAuth proxy for social network
* Automatic license synchronization

Below are the steps required to connect and synchronize a Rocket.Chat self-hosted workspace to Rocket.Chat Cloud infrastructure at [cloud.rocket.chat](https://cloud.rocket.chat).
