General
- Hide messages in "Recent" list - you can show/hide the text of the last message under the user picture in the contact list.
- Show birthday notifications - show/hide output of notifications and chats with colleagues who have birthdays.
- Show colleagues in the list of recent chats - show/hide users who were recently invited to Bitrix24 in the list of chats.
- Auto mark notifications as read - if you have lots of important notifications, we recommend disabling this option to process notifications manually.
- Use large smileys - you can enable/disable this option to use large/small smileys in chats.
- Show rich links - if this option is disabled, links in chats will be displayed as plain text without any additional information and pictures. This option works for all chats and needs to be enabled/disabled by each employee individually.
- Enable sound - you can enable or disable sound for notifications. The sound itself cannot be changed.
- Send messages on - here you can select which keyboard shortcut you want to use for sending messages ("Enter" button or "Ctrl+Enter").
- Color for your conversation in mobile chat - select a color for your conversations in chats in the Bitrix24 Mobile app (the person you are sending messages to will have the chat with you marked with this color).
- Run application on quick access bar click - if you've installed and launched the new all-in-one Desktop app, you'll be automatically taken to it once you click the dialogue icon in the quick access bar on the right.
- Visual theme - enable a light or dark theme in the messenger. Automatic mode allows you to enable a theme depending on which theme is installed in Windows or macOS (the Bitrix24 app for Windows and Mac is required).

There are two modes for notifications configuration: Simple and Advanced.
In the Simple mode, you can configure notifications for the following services:

- Push notifications (mobile app);
- Disabled notifications - this group of settings contains important notifications that were disabled for some reason, such as one-time login confirmation codes for two-factor authentication, notification of new mail or telephony calls. .
In the Advanced mode, you can enable/disable notifications for different Bitrix24 tools:
Calls
In this section, you can configure video preferences for group video calls:
- Accept incoming video feed from all - videos from all group call participants will be displayed in the call window.
- Accept incoming video feed from speakers - only the video of the user who is speaking is displayed.
- Don't accept - you'll see profile pictures of group call participants instead of their video.
After selecting the microphone and webcam, a microphone audio level indicator and webcam image will appear in the window.
The Request HD video option allows you to receive a video call in the best quality. If you have problems with the Internet or video in calls, try to disable this option.
