Part 1: Live Channel Notifications
Glimesh currently does not have push notifications for streamers. If you would like to be notified when a streamer goes live you will need to ensure you have Live Channel Emails turned on. In addition to having the bell on your followed streamers channel ticked (for more on this read below).
You can change this preference at any time for your Notifications menu.
Description: Image of the Live Channel Notifications of your notifications page with a toggle labeled Allow Live Channel Emails. Beneath this label is the text "Disallowing Live Subscriptions will disable them across the board, even if you have channels listed below. If you allow the notifications you''ll start getting going live emails for the channels listed.".
The second option on your Notifications is named Live Channel Notifications. The toggle in this section labelled Allow Live Channel Emails will allow you to switch between turning Live Channel Emails off (toggle to the left) and turning Live Channel Emails on (toggle to the right).

Under the Look & Feel section of your preferences, the second option named Chat timestamp visibility will show a toggle box, which is off (ticked on the left) by default. To change this to display timestamps, click the toggle.
Click this toggle to set your preference.
Any changes you make on this page will automatically save and update your preferences.
The second step to receiving emails about channels you follow is ensuring you turn on notifications for each streamer you would like to get live notification emails for.

Head to the channel you wish to turn notifications on for and look at the top bar above the video.
!! CHECKPOINT!!
If you are unable to see the follow button at the top of the channel please see our Being Unable To See The Follow & Support Button guide.
Make sure you are following the streamer by clicking the blue follow button on the right side, next to the red viewer’s box.

To make sure you receive emails when this channel goes live, click the bell button.
Description: The image shows the top bar above a channel stream with the blue button with a solid bell logo (second from the right) with a red highlight around it.
You will know this has worked when the bell icon changes to a solid white bell, rather than an outline of a bell.
To turn this off at any time, just click the bell icon again until it becomes a white outline, this will ensure notifications for this channel are turned off.
If you navigate back to your Notifications page after setting these notifications you will notice your Live Channel Notifications now shows you a list of people you have notifications turned on for.
Notifications of your notifications page with a toggle labeled Allow Live Channel Emails. Beneath this label is the text "Disallowing Live Subscriptions will disable them across the board, even if you have channels listed below. If you allow the notifications you will start getting going live emails for the channels listed." Below these, we now see the name Glimdrop with a red button below this labeled Disabled Live Notifications (outlined in red).
You can click the red button labeled Disable Live Notifications at any time to disable your notifications for that streamer.
