Description

Is it possible to configure Channels notification the same as Direct Messages? I mean, if some one in Channel post some new message, other users get the same visual and sound notification (blinking task-bar icon). Because, if I don't use @all tag, no one know, that there are some new message. So, can I configure Channels notification the same as Direct Messages?

[LXSysadmin]

In other words, is there possibility to notify desktop user about new message in channel with blinking icon in task bar?

+1 An indicator (alternative to mentions/private messages) for new channel messages would be very useful.

Please your help whit this issue.
And with this I can completely replace skype...

[LXSysadmin]

Yes, it would be SUPERB!

Yeah this is a really important feature for my team. So that either a desktop notice, or a sound is played when there is a new channel message on any of your joined channel. That way if there is pressing information for a team, everyone is notified even if they are on multiple teams / channels.

The desktop notifications implemented on version 2.2.0 solves this problem?

[LXSysadmin]

How can i configure in version 2.2.0 to get a notification in public channel? Like Skype group. Many users want to taskbar icon start blinking when someone writes in public channel. Yes, i can use @all tag, but taskbar icon is not blinking anyway. In other words, can notifications be the same as in private chat? When i write in private chat, taskbar icon change to orange, so, i want to get the same effect if some write in public channel. Do you get my idea? :)

2.2.0 has not resolved the problem of group channels not flashing in the taskbar. Is anybody working on this?

You can configure the notifications for channels in the notifications settings on the right hand side, which should alert you when you receive a message.

There is also a pull request https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/4339 that will allow you to set a default for all channels.

@LXSysadmin @mbraun01 Do notifications work when you enable them for a channel?

This is exactly the feature we are looking for(browser icon flashing would be ideal so we don't have to roll client). I am somewhat confused about the responses given in this thread. Can somone confirm this is working? Thanks

@LongShanksBraveHeartKiller it blinks when it is direct message or you are tagged in room.
Here is a fragment of a tray.js

function showTrayAlert (showAlert, title) {
    if (mainWindow.tray === null || mainWindow.tray === undefined) {
        return;
    }

    mainWindow.flashFrame(showAlert);

showAlert is true when you are tagged or you get direct message. If you know how to check that the bell is switched to "inform about all messages" then I think I can fix it.

I'm closing this issue as flash notifications are working in the latest version, and you can change your settings to enable notifications for channels/groups. Notification settings are related to the main application rather than the desktop app, and there a pull request to enable notifications for all messages RocketChat/Rocket.Chat#433

I'm running v 2.4.2 and have the same issue (red flash of task bar icon works for direct messages but not for channels / rooms). Is this a new bug? or am I missing a setting?
