Hi I would like to know if Mattermost send notifications in web browser (Firefox and Chrome) when the tab is closed and the user still logged in.

Cos I don’t receive notification in this case and I would not like to know it’s normal behavior or no  
Thanks in advance for your answer

Hi @sylflo, I believe you wouldn’t get notifications if the browser tab is closed.

Does anyone know how to make ^this work?

What would need to be added for push notifications to work while tab is closed?
