How do I get notifications when people enter and exit my room?

Help
1

I’ve got a pro subscription and am using a permanent room that I’m the admin of. I’m on a MacBook Pro using Chrome. (I suppose I could always switch to Firefox for just this site, if it helps.) What I want is to easily see notifications when people enter and exit the room. I’m also OK seeing other chat notifications, like when the song changes. But mostly I care about people entering and exiting.

But I don’t see any notifications anywhere. What this means is just that I end up going to the W2G tab and seeing that they’re gone, or that they entered. I’m not saying this is a bug; maybe it’s just a setting, or something I need to fiddle with to get it to work. Any tips?

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Push notifications for a room are only sent if your are not online in the room. Do you get notifications about people joining when you are not online?

Oh interesting! lol I don’t know! I’m really the one in the room the most, and I don’t want to bother people to test otherwise right now.

Personally I’d love to know if someone’s in there with me too, though; it’s kind of a togetherness/feel-good thing, which is most of what I like about W2G. (No worries, I’m not leaving the platform without this kind of notifications, I’d just love to have it!)

Yeah i understand your point… If the tab is in the background you get notifications in the tab title “(<notification count))” … Additionally you can enable a notification sound under “Personal Settings”. This sound is played when there is a new chat message while the tab is in the background. I hope this helps a little bit… Florian

I installed Watch2Gether on my phone, but I only get notifications if I’ve used the app within the last few minutes. As for my Windows PC, it stops working after just 10 seconds, and I only get a notification if I open the app.

Is there a way to get notifications that work as well as Discord’s?

Thanks for your feedback! How exactly did you install Watch2Gether on your phone? And what kind of phone and browser are you using?

I installed it on my PC using the option next to the URL when using the app in a browser. It seems to be the same method on mobile. I use a Redmi 10 5G phone and a Lenovo 81M9 PC.

All right — when you talk about notifications, are you talking about push notifications? I’m not sure I understand what you mean by ‘it stops working after 10 seconds’.
