    How to customize notification sounds for each chat network on Beeper Desktop

    How to customize notification sounds for each Chat Network on Beeper Desktop?

    We understand that some users prefer to have an audible cue to help prioritize received messages. To help with this, Beeper lets you select a notification sound for each of your connected chat network accounts, and for individual chats. Here's how to set a sound for an account:

    1. Go to Settings > Accounts
    2. Select the account you want to set a specific sound for
    3. Find Sounds and click on the dropdown menu to select a sound from the list

    How to set a notification sound for a single chat

    You can also give one chat its own sound, or make it Silent so it still notifies you without playing a sound.

    1. Open the chat and click the chat name at the top to open its chat info.
    2. Find Notification sound.
    3. Choose Default, Silent, or one of the Beeper sounds: Double, Dreams, Not Marimba, Rain Harp, Record or Spirit.

    Good to know:

    • A chat's sound takes priority over the account's sound and your default DM and group sounds. Choose Default to go back to those.
    • Silent isn't the same as muting: silent chats still show notifications, just without a sound.
    • On Windows and Linux, you can choose Default or Silent.
    • For merged chats, the sound is set on the merged chat as a whole.
    • The setting syncs with Beeper iOS. It isn't available on Beeper Android yet.
