Setting message notification preferences in the app desktop and web

Last updated on February 14, 2022

There are several ways to configure your notification preferences. One method for setting your notification preferences is via the Notification and sounds tab in the Settings menu. In this page, you can configure general notification and sound preferences for the entire app, for all messages, meetings, and phone calls.

However, there may be times where you would like to make changes to your notification preferences for a single conversation. For the purpose of this article, we’ll discuss how you can set your notification preferences for a single conversation.
