# Subscribe from the Web UI
|
2023-05-29 17:57:21 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the Web UI to subscribe to topics as well. Simply type in the topic name and click the *Subscribe* button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While subscribing, you have the option to enable desktop notifications, as well as background notifications. When you
|
|
|
|
|
enable them for the first time, you will be prompted to allow notifications on your browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Sound only**
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
If you don't enable browser notifications, a sound will play when a new notification comes in, and the tab title
|
|
|
|
|
will show the number of new notifications.

|
|
- **Browser Notifications**
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-05-29 22:09:40 +02:00
|
|
|
This requires an active ntfy tab to be open to receive notifications. These are typically instantaneous, and will
|
|
|
|
|
appear as a system notification. If you don't see these, check that your browser is allowed to show notifications
|
|
|
|
|
(for example in System Settings on macOS).

|
|
|
If you don't want to enable background notifications, pinning the ntfy tab on your browser is a good solution to leave
|
|
|
|
|
it running.

|
|
|
|
- **Background Notifications**
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-05-29 22:09:40 +02:00
|
|
|
This uses the [Web Push API](https://caniuse.com/push-api). You don't need an active ntfy tab open, but in some
|
|
|
|
|
cases you may need to keep your browser open.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Background notifications are only supported on the same server hosting the web app. You cannot use another server,
|
|
|
|
|
but can instead subscribe on the other server itself.

If topic reservations are enabled, you can claim ownership over topics and define access to it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div id="reserve-screenshots" class="screenshots">
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="../../static/img/web-reserve-topic.png"><img src="../../static/img/web-reserve-topic.png"/></a>

You can set your default choice for new subscriptions (for example synced account subscriptions and the default toggle state)
|
|
|
|
|
in the settings page:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div id="push-settings-screenshots" class="screenshots">
