Notifications
Tune alerts per-room; stay focused without missing out.

Notification Basics
How notifications work 
 
 You get alerts for direct mentions, replies to your messages, followed threads, and your chosen room level. 
 The most recently active device usually receives the push. 
 
 Set global defaults 
 
 Avatar → Preferences → Notifications: choose desktop, mobile, and email behavior. 
 Pick “Mentions only” to reduce noise; opt into thread replies.

Per-Room Settings
Override per room 
 
 Click the room name → Notifications. 
 Choose: All messages, Mentions, Nothing, or Custom. 
 Mute a room temporarily via the bell icon; unmute anytime. 
 
 Thread notifications 
 
 Follow a thread to receive updates without enabling all room notifications.

Do Not Disturb
Silence notifications when you need focus time. 
 
 Click your avatar → Set Status → Do Not Disturb. 
 Optionally add a status note with your return time. 
 On mobile, you can respect the device’s system DND.
