# How Do I Enable Desktop Notifications?

On web, you can turn on **desktop notifications** to receive popup alerts in your browser whenever you get a new notification and your Mighty Network tab is not in focus.

The notifications that appear will depend on your personal notification preferences in **Personal Settings > Notifications**.
