Hey there!

We're automatically closing this issue since there was no activity in this issue since 445 days ago. We therefore assume that the user has lost interest or resolved the problem on their own. Closed issues that remain inactive for a long period may get automatically locked.

Don't worry though; if this is in error, let us know with a comment and we'll be happy to reopen the issue.

Thanks!

Please reopen. If we're using a bot to auto-close tickets then it should be issuing a warning before doing so, giving users a chance to keep it alive.

Giving this another bump (sorry) to say that I'd really like to see this as well. Often, notifications for other chats will pop up in front of a text box that I'm typing in for a different chat, which is extremely annoying. Being able to set them to always show on my other monitor would be a lot nicer. I'll add that I'm using the Telegram client for Linux.

@psjf If notifications pop-up in front of a text box, why not just move them to a different corner?

[psjf]

@23rd They'd still be on the same monitor, which means they'd likely be blocking something else (I've experimented with that before). Being able to shove them over to the monitor I use less often would make them a lot less intrusive.

The workaround I've settled on is enabling "Use native notifications." Content-wise, they're slightly less versatile than Telegram's built-in notifications, but on my KDE desktop, they pop up next to the task tray on the other monitor by default.

Hey there!

This issue will be automatically closed in 7 days if there would be no activity. We therefore assume that the user has lost interest or resolved the problem on their own.

Don't worry though; if this is an error, let us know with a comment and we'll be happy to reopen the issue.

Thanks!

Yes we still want this feature.

I'd much rather be using Telegram's notification system than the Windows 10 default, but because I have multiple screens I have no other choice.

I've seen the github-actions bot has been aggressively locking issues recently, so I'm just bumping this to make sure it stays open.
I sympathize with the team if they're having trouble reading through all the incoming tickets and I hope they get more contributors to help out, but continued use of Ghost bot, Stale bot etc. is just going to annoy users.

This would be great on my Linux workstations too.

Ima perform a sin and bump this ticket because I really want this to be a feature

[rafalsk]

bumping up... we stream what we do on YouTube LIVE (https://gridnet.org).. the lack of it gets in a way
