## Wildcard mentions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, wildcard mentions (`@**all**`, `@**everyone**`) trigger
|
|
|
|
email/push notifications as though they were personal @-mentions. You
|
|
|
|
can toggle whether you receive notifications for wildcard mentions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|notifications}
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
1. Under **Streams**, toggle the **@all** checkbox.
|

|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Additionally, you can override this configuration for individual
|

|
|
|
streams in your [Stream settings](/help/stream-notifications), and
|
|
|
|
administrators can [restrict use of wildcard
|
|
|
|
mentions](/help/restrict-wildcard-mentions) in large streams.
