oooo we are so excited! please make this happen for the major release, thank you! After this, we will consider the enterprise licensing

@jancborchardt currently we go for 3 options:

• Never notify
• On mention
• Always

where/how should users be able to set this? In the … menu of the conversation list? Or the right sidebar top section?

Additionally, should we show something similar to the grey mute icon Whatapp and others are showing when a conversation is set to "never"?

[fsxadmin]

for sure in the ... shown here:

Thanks for your diligence @nickvergessen !!

Ready for review. I also think that the dropdown menu is the right place, since it also handles the favorite state, so it looks like the following screenshot for now:

From IRC:

@MorrisJobke : nickvergessen: looks nice 👍

We can also go for other icons (I think they are fine, although a crossed-through speaker would be better for never) and/or a new layout (putting the icons in one row with hover title, or whatever)

Notification's text should change when someone writes in a group/public room.
At the moment you receive: "{user} sent you a private message"
It should be something like: "{user} wrote a message in {room name}"

done

Looks great @nickvergessen! :) Also yes for the mute-icon like in Signal and WhatsApp.

The default notification setting for every channel should be on @-mention initially.

@jancborchardt people waited forever to get ALWAYS notifications in 1-to-1 conversations. Why take it away from them?

[nickvergessen]

Default remains the current behaviour:

• One2one: Always
• Others: Mention

Awesome

Totally missed this – just for the record, when I said "for every channel" I meant "for every group channel". So the defaults @nickvergessen mentioned are 👍

First of all, thanks a lot to everyone here for your great work!

We are introducing Talk at the moment in our organization and there have been several complaints with regard to the notification level (it actually took me a while to figure out the "notification if mentioned"-level, since this is not the default option I know from other messengers):
Would it be possible to introduce a feature to change the default behaviour server-wide or in ones own personal settings? We are working with many groups and it's quite incommodious to change it every single time for every group again.

Once again, thanks a lot for all your work!

[jancborchardt]

@errotu could you open a new issue with your request? :) Listing comparisons with how other messengers are doing it are very welcome too.

@jancborchardt Thanks for the quick reply! I have now opened #2085.
