Notifications
Under General:
- Recording notifications turns the four recording notifications below on or off together.
- Notification sound asks your desktop to play its message sound with each notification.
- Manual Do Not Disturb silences all of Parley’s notifications. Your desktop’s own Do Not Disturb mode also holds them back.
Under Events, choose which notifications Parley shows:
| Event | Default |
|---|---|
| Recording started | Off |
| Recording stopped | Off |
| Recording paused / resumed | On |
| Transcription complete | On |
| Meeting reminders | On |
| System errors | On |
Send test notification checks that notifications reach your desktop.
Call-detection prompts are controlled from Settings → Recording → Meeting detection instead.
