VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

00:00:07.519 we'll look at notifications on your

00:00:10.139 Chromebook now when I'm referring to

00:00:11.639 Notifications I'm talking about

00:00:13.380 notifications from apps and also

00:00:16.020 notifications from the Chrome browser

00:00:18.779 and this is when you would go to

00:00:20.580 websites now I don't know about you but

00:00:22.380 I'd say the last year or so a lot more

00:00:25.619 websites now come up with a pop-up box

00:00:27.900 saying they want to send you

00:00:28.980 notifications and if you're anything

00:00:30.840 like me if you're busy sometimes you

00:00:32.820 don't read what's coming up and you

00:00:34.800 might say yes to something and then

00:00:36.899 later regret it because this website

00:00:38.880 keeps on sending notifications which

00:00:41.340 really frustrates you you quite a few

00:00:43.739 years ago the only sort of websites that

00:00:45.480 did that were things like Facebook and

00:00:47.940 the more well recognized type of

00:00:50.280 websites Twitter that sort of thing but

00:00:52.920 now you get it on loads of websites and

00:00:55.559 if you click yes to those notifications

00:00:58.079 you are then just bombard with

00:01:00.180 notifications so we'll also look at that

00:01:02.699 as well and now you can customize that

00:01:04.920 but first of all we'll have a quick look

00:01:07.380 at the apps so I'll just quickly show

00:01:10.260 you one way what you can do to stop any

00:01:13.260 notifications is just put Do Not Disturb

00:01:16.320 here

00:01:17.280 and that will stop the notifications and

00:01:20.340 then when you take that off that will

00:01:22.560 then show the notifications again but if

00:01:25.259 we go into settings here

00:01:27.420 we can then look into more detail on how

00:01:30.600 it works so from your settings down here

00:01:33.600 you want to go into apps like that and

00:01:37.320 then from here you will see

00:01:39.380 notifications so click on there

00:01:42.119 obviously the type of apps your lab

00:01:44.100 would always dependent on what you've

00:01:45.420 got installed on your Chromebook now

00:01:47.700 here you can first of all look at this

00:01:49.619 app badging show dot on app icon for app

00:01:52.979 alert stats on

00:01:54.780 now all that simply means is if you've

00:01:57.479 got a notification for a certain from a

00:02:00.420 certain app and say if it's safe from

00:02:02.579 YouTube here you should see a DOT

00:02:04.860 underneath it to show that you've got a

00:02:06.360 notification so that's all that is so

00:02:08.758 you can either add that on or off now

00:02:11.220 this one here do not disturb when turned

00:02:13.920 on all notifications will be silenced

00:02:16.020 that does exactly the same as what this

00:02:19.200 one does here so if you turn that on

00:02:21.360 there

00:02:22.680 you'll see that it's also on here so

00:02:25.500 that's all that does here now the thing

00:02:27.720 to bear in mind here is this do not

00:02:29.580 disturbs overrides any of the settings

00:02:32.220 here so if you've got it on here to have

00:02:36.239 notifications if you click on do not

00:02:38.400 disturb it will override it and it will

00:02:40.319 not be able to give you any

00:02:41.459 notifications so from here you will be

00:02:44.280 able to see that most of these apps do

00:02:47.879 not have permission to send

00:02:49.620 notifications I don't think I've

00:02:51.900 necessarily set that I don't think so

00:02:54.200 but it's a good thing is to definitely

00:02:56.519 go through and check for example I've

00:02:58.560 got clip Champ here which I am trying to

00:03:00.480 use a lot more I'm trying to move away

00:03:02.519 from Microsoft computer entirely to do

00:03:04.920 video editing but it's not an easy

00:03:06.780 process unfortunately so I may want

00:03:09.780 notifications from them so I could click

00:03:11.940 that on there because that could show me

00:03:13.800 notification for example if I'd done a

00:03:16.260 video and I was exporting that video you

00:03:19.260 could tell me when it's finished stuff

00:03:20.700 like that so you just need to go through

00:03:23.519 and decide what you'd like notifications

00:03:26.159 from so if there's apps which you just

00:03:28.980 really do not want any notifications

00:03:30.900 whatsoever just the best thing to do is

00:03:33.060 just simply to take it off here for

00:03:34.739 example like that there and then you'll

00:03:36.840 never get a notification from that app

00:03:39.300 and then up here like it says if you are

00:03:42.000 in a video call or you're doing a video

00:03:44.640 like I am now although I've got it

00:03:46.560 turned on myself you can just simply

00:03:48.599 click that but the quickest route to do

00:03:50.760 that is just from there do not disturb

00:03:53.159 just try and remember to turn it back

00:03:54.900 off again afterwards okay so that's how

00:03:57.659 you deal with notifications when it

00:03:59.879 comes to apps now we will look at

00:04:02.099 notifications from

00:04:03.900 browsers from the browser which is

00:04:05.819 essentially websites and these ones can

00:04:07.860 get quite frustrating because it looks

00:04:09.780 like most web developers now blog owners

00:04:13.680 debut they've obviously realized they

00:04:15.840 couldn't give you this information when

00:04:17.880 you log on to their

00:04:19.519 enter their website and I find it

00:04:22.320 utterly frustrating because most of them

00:04:24.419 you wouldn't want notifications from now

00:04:26.759 if you go to here at Chrome browser

00:04:28.800 settings does it mean you want to turn

00:04:31.080 it off because there might be something

00:04:32.340 that you do want it set up set send

00:04:34.740 notifications but it's entitled to you

00:04:37.020 what you do here

00:04:38.759 so here you can see there's default

00:04:40.560 Behavior so it's automatically follow

00:04:42.780 this setting when you visit them sites

00:04:44.940 usually send notifications to let you

00:04:46.500 know about breaking news or chat

00:04:48.419 messages which is fine so see here this

00:04:51.240 is essentially an education that's just

00:04:52.860 popped up but that's Chrome OS so

00:04:55.020 obviously I'd always want that and it's

00:04:56.820 just let me know there's an update and

00:04:58.979 that's because I've not had this

00:05:00.000 computer turned on for a couple of weeks

00:05:01.979 so that's no surprise there there's an

00:05:03.960 update okay so from here you can see

00:05:06.600 here sites can ask to send notifications

00:05:10.139 if you want the site when you log in

00:05:13.080 when you go to their websites if you

00:05:15.780 want them to continue asking you to send

00:05:17.699 your notifications then obviously leave

00:05:20.040 that as that now this one here the

00:05:22.919 second one is use quieter messaging

00:05:24.780 sites are blocked from interrupting you

00:05:27.180 when they ask to send notifications so

00:05:31.440 I'm not too sure what that does now it

00:05:35.699 would assume to me that if I was active

00:05:38.039 on my browser it would that would mean

00:05:40.740 that they're not allowed to pop up a

00:05:42.060 dialog box and ask me but I don't know

00:05:44.580 it obviously seems like this would be a

00:05:47.280 lot less intrusive than this option so

00:05:50.280 if you find it quite intrusive you want

00:05:52.139 something not as intrusive perhaps try

00:05:54.660 that option there now if you don't want

00:05:57.060 any notifications whatsoever but bear in

00:05:59.880 mind there are some websites where you

00:06:01.680 go to where you do want notifications

00:06:03.600 they will be blocked as well you can do

00:06:06.900 don't allow sites to send notifications

00:06:09.620 and that's this one here and then there

00:06:12.539 are bits and your notifications at all

00:06:14.520 I'm going to leave it on because I

00:06:16.979 generally spot it now and I always say

00:06:19.440 no if I don't want them to do so okay so

00:06:23.220 another good feature here is these

00:06:25.440 customized behaviors I'm going to turn

00:06:27.419 this brightness up a bit customized

00:06:29.460 behaviors so here you can see sites

00:06:32.759 listed below follow a custom some

00:06:34.500 setting instead of the default so this

00:06:36.720 is the default up here but you can

00:06:39.120 override that default with these so this

00:06:41.340 will still be the same for all other

00:06:42.720 websites but you can add separate rules

00:06:45.180 for other websites so here you can see

00:06:47.940 I've got allow to send notifications

00:06:50.280 I've got clip jump so that is allowed to

00:06:53.639 send notifications now if you click into

00:06:56.280 that this will then give you lots of the

00:06:59.160 different permissions that clip chump

00:07:00.960 has I'm not going to look at all of them

00:07:02.639 today we just look at notifications but

00:07:05.280 you can see there notification

00:07:06.840 notifications is allow and then if you

00:07:10.199 click back there and on the same one

00:07:12.660 clip jump if you clicked on these three

00:07:14.940 dots here so say for example you will

00:07:17.160 get notifications from a website and it

00:07:19.560 was driving you nuts the reason why it

00:07:22.199 will be showing down here allowed to

00:07:23.940 send notifications because you've

00:07:26.220 previously visited that website and

00:07:28.319 you've clicked allow notifications so if

00:07:30.660 you're getting that and it's starting to

00:07:31.800 drive you crazy just find the website

00:07:34.139 that you don't want the notifications

00:07:35.759 from anymore click on then dots there

00:07:38.720 and you can either block

00:07:42.180 edit or remove now obviously if you

00:07:46.680 click edits that just lets you change

00:07:48.840 the website address so that that's fine

00:07:51.180 but if you for example

00:07:54.360 if you want to remove it by all means

00:07:58.500 remove it and that will not you will no

00:08:01.560 longer get notifications however if you

00:08:04.740 do that and up here you've got sites can

00:08:07.440 ask to send notifications the next time

00:08:10.080 you visit that website it may ask you

00:08:12.660 whether they can send you notifications

00:08:15.259 so if it's a website that is really

00:08:18.479 frustrating you with notifications I

00:08:21.360 wouldn't delete I would simply press the

00:08:24.900 block

00:08:25.800 and that will block them and as you can

00:08:28.319 see there they're not allowed to send

00:08:30.360 notifications that's where that is now

00:08:32.399 under so I've got Spotify not allowed to

00:08:35.640 send me notifications and I've also got

00:08:38.279 the clip jump I will remove the more

00:08:40.620 change it so I'll just put allow

00:08:43.140 on that one and allow on that one but

00:08:46.440 that's the way you deal with the

00:08:48.240 notifications another option you have

00:08:50.399 you can

00:08:51.959 put in your own websites here so you

00:08:56.160 could I'm just going to remove them

00:08:58.260 because they just might be default so

00:09:00.660 I'll just remove them for now so if you

00:09:04.260 wanted to you could leave this as a loud

00:09:06.360 or you could if you wanted to be really

00:09:08.700 strict you could say don't allow but

00:09:11.940 then a certain website where you would

00:09:13.860 like it to allow you to have

00:09:15.540 notifications you could add them

00:09:18.180 yourself here so allow to send

00:09:21.180 notifications on here so you would want

00:09:24.300 to put in the full website address so

00:09:26.459 check to make sure it's https most

00:09:29.700 websites are now some might be HTTP if

00:09:33.420 it's HTTP you need to put HTTP and then

00:09:36.959 https and then colon and then backslash

00:09:41.640 backslash and then you could do

00:09:44.480 facebook.com like that

00:09:47.580 and then do add and that's allowed to

00:09:51.120 send notifications however I don't think

00:09:54.000 Facebook uses that web address that's

00:09:57.540 they've not used the www dot now some

00:10:01.080 websites don't use www dot others do so

00:10:06.180 it's best to check on that as well so on

00:10:08.399 the Facebook one it would be https

00:10:12.120 colon forward slash forward slash

00:10:15.920 www.facebook.com because believe it or

00:10:18.060 not in in the eyes of um how the

00:10:20.339 internet works they are seen as two

00:10:23.040 different websites although it's

00:10:24.540 obviously the same person who owns it so

00:10:26.519 it's best to check on that so you could

00:10:29.100 do that and it's exactly the same you

00:10:31.800 could do that on not send notifications

00:10:34.560 so again if there's a website where you

00:10:36.959 don't want them to send you

00:10:37.920 notifications you can add them manually

00:10:40.380 as well so you don't have to wait until

00:10:42.779 they show down here you can set it all

00:10:45.660 up how you like

00:10:48.240 and if you aren't sure about whether

00:10:50.339 it's www dot or not the best thing to do

00:10:54.720 is you could just put both of them and

00:10:56.820 that covers both so that's how you deal

00:10:59.399 with notifications on your Chromebook

00:11:01.320 They do change it's been quite a while

00:11:03.360 since I've done a video on notifications

00:11:05.760 and when I was having a quick look I was

00:11:07.740 like yes that's really changed so I hope

00:11:10.380 you like this video obviously I'll be

00:11:12.360 making more videos in the future about

00:11:14.459 Chrome OS the operating system Android
