...so that your phone is quiet and won't vibrate/blink on any notifications, you have already seen on the computer.

Maybe check, if the tab in the browser has focus. If this is the case, switch to quite-mode

Maybe not an option, but if you've read your message on your desktop (and really read it, …) hide the notification on your mobile phone, if that is possible.

While or after having used ThreemaWeb I notice that sometimes I'm not getting any notifications on my phone (and thus missed a meeting yesterday).
Contrary to others I don't want to miss phone notifications because I'm often leaving my PC or I have several windows open, missing a pop-up notification. Therefore I'd like to get notifications on both devices. (I don't quite understand how Threema would be able to know if messages have already been read, if I leave the PC with an open chat.) Surely an option for individual settings would be ideal - if possible.

@Anke I guess if you're away from your computer, the computer is not unlocked and with the threema window focussed right? In that case, resolution of #17 should help you too. We're waiting for a feature from an external library until the issue can be closed.

@dbrgn No, home office and only me, computer not locked and Threema tab sometimes focussed, more often not.

@Anke But the browser notification will stay open until you touch/move your mice again. So you won't miss any new notification in that case. Beside that you should be able to turn of this functionality.

My browser is secondary. Relyable notifications on my phone are important to me, and sporadically I don't get any after I've been using ThreemaWeb. I couldn't really detemine what might be causing it.

Threema Web marks the messages as read (thus hiding the notification on the phone) if the conversation is active.

After the fix in #17, it will only mark them as read if the conversation is active and if the browser window is open and focussed.

I see, thank you.

As suggested in #494 to me it would be ideal to have an explicit setting within the app which allows us to mute all notification sounds & vibrations temporarily as long as at least 1 web client is connected.

In comparison to other suggestions here, I wouldn't tinker to much with focused tabs or browser windows. I have the web client running in an Electron app (Rambox) where Threema usually is not the active tab, but the app still gives me notifications and I don't want additional notifications on my phones in this situation as well.

@suamikim Since it's an option anyway, this could be made configurable easily so everyone is happy.
