 | 
			
		||||
tell you how to set your preference for all subscribed stream messages at
 | 
			
		||||
once. You can also set
 | 
			
		||||
[notification preferences for individual streams](/help/set-notifications-for-a-single-stream).

 | 
			
		||||
check the **Visual desktop notifications** option and/or **Audible desktop
 | 
			
		||||
notifications** under **Stream messages**.
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
**Audible desktop notifications**.

		||||

 | 
			
		||||
"yes" to start recieving desktop notifications for streams that you are
 | 
			
		||||
currently subscribed to. Note that the change will apply even if you
 | 
			
		||||
previously set a notification preference on an individual stream. Select "no"
 | 
			
		||||
if you only want to apply your setting to streams that you subscribe to in
 | 
			
		||||
the future.
