If you’re using the Gather Desktop App (which is currently in beta), you can now enable real-time native OS notifications on Mac and Windows devices! These notifications make it easier to know what's happening in Gather and jump back into your Space when you’re working in a different app, so you never miss the important moments with your team.
The desktop notifications you can receive include:
- Meeting reminders. If you’ve connected your Google Calendar and have an event starting soon.
- Chat messages. You can either click the notification to view the Chat message in Gather or reply to the message directly via the notification.
- Requests to follow, lead, or join. Clicking the notification will open the Gather app so you can walk with your colleague or walk to their conversation.
- Ring notifications. Never miss the chance to connect when someone is Ringing your avatar.
- Space capacity notices. Admins will be notified when your Space has reached capacity and if anyone is prevented from joining the Space due to that limit.
To start receiving desktop notifications, you’ll need to enable them via your computer’s settings. We'll prompt you to do that after sending the first notification, or you can manually change this setting from your computer preferences. Here’s an example for Mac users:
You can then configure which notifications you’d like to receive in the Gather Desktop App. Go to Settings > Desktop to change these settings.
With the addition of Desktop Notifications, we’re excited to help Desktop users stay even more connected to their team. If you have any questions about these updates, you can always visit our Help Center.
Making things better, bit by bit.
