Configure desktop notifications

You can receive desktop notifications in the corner of your main monitor for messages sent while Zulip is offscreen.

Stream messages

To add desktop notifications for a single stream, follow the instructions here.

You can also add desktop notifications for all your current streams, or set a default configuration for streams you join in the future.

{settings_tab|notifications}

  1. Under Stream Messages, select Visual desktop notifications and/or Audible desktop notifications.

  2. Under Apply this change to all current stream subscriptions, select "yes" to start receiving desktop notifications for streams that you are currently subscribed to.

Select "no" if you only want to apply your setting to streams that you subscribe to in the future.
