You’re notified in a web browser, and the desktop app, for threads you’re following when you’re @mentioned or the messages contain a keyword you’re tracking.

Tip

  • Fangout auto-follows you on all direct and group messages, any thread you start, as well as any thread where you’ve been @mentioned directly.

  • You can choose to follow or unfollow any thread at any time.

You won’t receive notifications for threads you’re not following, or thread replies when they don’t @mention you directly. However, blue message indicators show you unread thread replies you’re not following in a given public or private channel.

For all other messages, a channel appears bolded to indicate unread messages.

Customize your notifications#

Follow all threads in channels automatically#
