+# Troubleshooting desktop notifications
+
+First, make sure you are getting
+[desktop notifications for PMs](/help/pm-mention-alert-notifications) or for the
+[stream](/help/stream-notifications) you are testing with.
+
+Desktop notifications are triggered when a message arrives, and Zulip is not
+in focus or the message is offscreen. You must have Zulip open in a browser
+tab or in the Zulip desktop app to receive desktop notifications.
+
+**Visual desktop notifications** appear in the corner of your main monitor.
+**Audible desktop notifications** make a sound.
+
+The most common issue is that your browser or system settings are blocking
+notifications from Zulip.
+
+## Desktop app on macOS
+
+1. Open your Mac **System Preferences** and select **Notifications**.
+
+2. Select **Zulip** from the list of apps.
+
+3. Configure the notification style that you would like Zulip to use.
+
+## Desktop app on Windows

+1. Open the Firefox **Edit** menu. Select **Preferences**.
+
+2. On the left, select **Privacy & Security**. Scroll to the **Permissions**
+ section and select the **Settings** button next to **Notifications**.
+
+3. Find the URL for your Zulip organization, and adjust the **Status**
+ selector to **Allow**.
+
+## Chrome
+
+1. Click on **Secure** to the left of the URL bar. It should be green and
+ have a lock icon next to it.
+
+1. Set **Notifications** and **Sound** to **Allow**.
+
+Alternate instructions:
+
+1. Open the Chrome **Edit** menu. Select **Preferences**.
+
+2. On the top left, select the menu icon (). Select **Advanced**, and then **Privacy & Security**.
+ Click on **Content settings** (partway down the page), and select
+ **Notifications**.
