Slack Desktop Notifications Visibility Helper

Allows visibility mode configuration for Slack Desktop Notifications

What is Slack Desktop Notifications Visibility Helper?

"Slack Desktop Notifications Visibility Helper" is a Chrome extension designed specifically for Slack Desktop users. It allows configuration of the visibility mode for Slack notifications. Users can opt for notifications to be sticky (remaining visible until manually closed or read) or follow the default behavior (automatically dismissed). Despite the release of a native Windows app for Slack, many users still rely on this extension, as the application’s notification system often fails to trigger.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Slack Desktop Notifications (for Windows) are visible for only several seconds and after they get dismissed there is no visual indicator for unread messages.

This extension is intended ONLY for allowing configuration of visibility mode for Slack Desktop Notifications (in lack of a Slack-client for Windows).

Visibility options:

Use Sticky Notifications (Notification are visible until closed/read)
Use Default behavior (Notifications are automatically dismissed)

After installing the extension the 1st option will activate automatically, which will overwrite the default behavior.

This can be configured by going to Preferences, see screenshots (click on User -> Preferences -> Notifications -> Visibility options).
