We have reports of success on the following terminal emulators:

* Terminator (https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator)
* iterm2 (https://iterm2.com/) **Mac only**
* Microsoft/Windows Terminal (https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal) **Windows only**

Issues have been reported with the following:

* urxvt - **Issues with color rendering**
* mosh (https://mosh.org/) - **Issues with color rendering**
* terminal app **Mac only** - **Issues with some default keypresses, including for sending messages** [zulip-terminal#680](https://github.com/zulip/zulip-terminal/issues/680)

Color issues may be related to the support listed on the urwid page here: http://urwid.org/manual/displayattributes.html#foreground-and-background-settings
