By default the Application menu is expanded; a user can make changes to the TokBird Live Animations [1] (enabled by default), enable Audible alerts [2], and Pop-up alerts [3] to notify you of new incoming chat messages while in the TokBird Live meeting and when your chat pane or users list is minimized. 

It is important to note that all alerts are in-browser only and do not behave like desktop push notifications.
