# Not Receiving Notifications

### 1) Check Browser Settings

It's common that the reason you are unable to receive Notifications is because your browser settings have changed and you're no longer opted in. Depending on the browser you're using, go into the settings and ensure that your Notifications are set to 'Allow'.

### 2) Check Machine Settings

#### Mac Users:

* On your Mac device, go to System Preferences > Notifications
* On the Notifications Tab, scroll down the list until you see the web browser you're opted in on.&#x20;
* On that browser, ensure that the 'Allow Notifications' toggle is enabled and the Banners style is selected. \
  \&#xNAN;*\*Note: If you use Google Chrome, sometimes there are two Google Chrome's listed, like shown below. Make sure both have 'Allow Notifications' enabled.*&#x20;

(Your Notifications Settings page will look like one of the images below. It will depend on what version of macOS you're on.)

#### PC Users:

* On that Notifications page, ensure that Google Chrome, or whichever browser you're using, is marked as active.

### 3) Confirm Settings Are Not Silenced/Muted&#x20;

**If you're on a Mac**, ensure that the 'Do Not Disturb' isn't turned on under the Focus settings.&#x20;
