There's also more detailed discussion of this in the README,

For the avoidance of doubt, this should get you to where you need to be:
clients, when they connect, should bind a temporary (autodelete) queue to a
distinguished presence exchange for your application. If they crash, suffer
heartbeat failure, or otherwise disconnect, the temporary queue will be
deleted, and as a consequence the binding to the presence exchange will be
removed, the fact of which will then be broadcast to the presence listeners
attached to that exchange.
