Chrome notifications are a handy feature that allows you to receive alerts and updates from websites, extensions, and apps even when you are not actively using them. However, by default, Chrome notifications are disabled when you are using another app in fullscreen mode. This can be frustrating if you rely on notifications for important information. In this article, we will show you how to enable Chrome notifications while using another app in fullscreen mode.
Step 1: Open Chrome Settings
The first step is to open the Chrome browser on your computer and click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the window. From the dropdown menu, select "Settings".
Step 2: Access Advanced Settings
In the Chrome Settings page, scroll down to the bottom and click on "Advanced" to access additional settings.
Step 3: Manage Notifications
Under the "Privacy and security" section, click on "Content settings".
Step 4: Open Notifications Settings
In the Content settings, scroll down to the "Notifications" section and click on it.
Step 5: Enable Quiet Notifications
In the Notifications settings, you will find an option called "Quiet notifications". By default, this option is enabled, which means Chrome notifications are disabled when you are using another app in fullscreen mode. To enable Chrome notifications while in fullscreen, toggle the switch next to "Quiet notifications" to the off position.
Step 6: Allow or Block Specific Sites
Now that you have enabled Chrome notifications while using another app in fullscreen mode, you can customize which websites are allowed to send you notifications. Scroll down to the "Sites" section in the Notifications settings.
To allow notifications from a specific website, click on "Add" next to the "Allow" section. In the popup window, enter the website URL and click on "Add".
To block notifications from a specific website, click on "Add" next to the "Block" section. In the popup window, enter the website URL and click on "Add".
Step 7: Test Chrome Notifications
Now that you have made the necessary changes, it's time to test if Chrome notifications are working while using another app in fullscreen mode. Open any website or app that sends notifications and make sure it is running in fullscreen mode. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive notifications from that website or app even when you are using another app in fullscreen.
That's it! You have successfully enabled Chrome notifications while using another app in fullscreen mode. Enjoy receiving alerts and updates without any interruption.
