# Configure default settings for new users
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can configure the default values of
|
|
personal preference settings for new users joining the
|
|
organization. This can help seamlessly customize the Zulip experience
|
|
to match how the organization in question is using Zulip.
|
|
|
|
Existing users' preferences cannot be modified by administrators, and
|
|
users will be able to customize their own settings once they
|
|
join. Administrators can customize defaults for all personal
|
|
preference settings, including the following:
|
|
|
|
* Privacy settings:
|
|
* Displaying [availability](/help/status-and-availability) to other users
|
|
* Allowing others to see when the user has [read
|
|
messages](/help/read-receipts)
|
|
* Allowing others to see when the user is [typing a
|
|
message](/help/typing-notifications)
|
|
|
|
* Preferences:
|
|
* [Language](/help/change-your-language)
|
|
* [Time format](/help/change-the-time-format)
|
|
* [Light theme vs. dark theme](/help/dark-theme)
|
|
* [Font size](/help/font-size)
|
|
* [Line spacing](/help/line-spacing)
|
|
* [Emoji theme](/help/emoji-and-emoticons#change-your-emoji-set)
|
|
* [Home view](/help/configure-home-view)
|
|
([Inbox](/help/inbox) vs.
|
|
[Recent conversations](/help/recent-conversations) vs.
|
|
[Combined feed](/help/reading-strategies#combined-feed))
|
|
|
|
* Notification settings:
|
|
* What types of messages [trigger notifications][default-notifications]
|
|
* Which topics users will [automatically follow](/help/follow-a-topic). This
|
|
minimizes the need to [mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) other users
|
|
to get their attention.

## Configure default language for new users
|
|
|
|
Your organization's [language](/help/configure-organization-language) will be
|
|
the default language for new users when Zulip cannot detect their language
|
|
preferences from their browser, including all users [created via the Zulip
|
|
API](/api/create-user).
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Automated messages and emails**, change the **Language for
|
|
automated messages and invitation emails**.
