# Customize Hitorino Notification Preferences Per Creator

> Control live alerts, new video emails, comment replies, and push notifications. Fine-tune alerts per creator and mute channels that don't need it.

Hitorino sends notifications so you never miss a live stream from a creator you love or a reply to a comment you left. At the same time, too many alerts can become noise. Your notification settings give you precise control over what you hear about, when, and through which channel — down to individual creators if you want that level of detail. This page covers every notification type available and shows you how to configure each one.

## Notification Types

Hitorino groups notifications into four categories. Each category can be enabled or disabled independently for email, in-app, and push delivery.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Live Alerts" icon="signal-stream">
    Sent when a creator you follow or subscribe to goes live. These are time-sensitive — configure push notifications for creators whose streams you never want to miss.
  </Card>

  <Card title="New Video" icon="circle-play">
    Sent when a creator you follow uploads a new video. You can choose to receive these immediately or as a daily digest.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Comment Replies" icon="message-lines">
    Sent when someone replies directly to one of your comments. Includes a preview of the reply text.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mentions" icon="at">
    Sent when another user mentions your @username in a comment, a chat message during a live stream, or a creator post.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Accessing Notification Settings

To open your notification preferences, click your avatar in the top-right corner, select **Settings**, and then choose **Notifications** from the left-hand menu. You can also reach this page directly by clicking the bell icon in the main navigation and selecting **Notification Settings** at the bottom of the dropdown.

## Delivery Channels

For each notification type you can choose one or more delivery methods:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="In-App">
    In-app notifications appear in the bell dropdown in the navigation bar. The bell icon shows a badge count for unread notifications. Clicking a notification takes you directly to the relevant stream, video, or comment thread. In-app notifications are stored for 90 days, after which they are automatically cleared.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Email">
    Email notifications are sent to the address associated with your account. You can choose **Immediate** delivery (one email per event) or a **Daily Digest** (one summary email per day at a time you choose). The daily digest is available for New Video and Mention notifications — Live Alerts are always sent immediately when email is enabled, since timeliness matters.

    <Tip>
      If Hitorino emails are landing in your spam folder, add `notifications@hitorino.tv` to your contacts or safe-sender list.
    </Tip>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Push Notifications">
    Push notifications appear on your phone or desktop even when you don't have Hitorino open. To enable them, click **Enable Push Notifications** in the Notifications settings page and allow the permission prompt from your browser or the Hitorino mobile app.

    <Note>
      Push notification permissions are managed per device and per browser. If you use Hitorino on multiple devices, enable push separately on each one.
    </Note>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Global Notification Settings

The top of the Notifications settings page shows global toggles. These act as master switches — turning off a category here disables it across all delivery channels and all creators simultaneously.

| Notification Type | Default State         |
| ----------------- | --------------------- |
| Live Alerts       | On (in-app and push)  |
| New Video         | On (in-app only)      |
| Comment Replies   | On (in-app and email) |
| Mentions          | On (in-app and email) |

Adjust these defaults to match your preferences, then use per-creator settings to override individual creators as needed.

## Per-Creator Notification Settings

When you want more or less noise from a specific creator, override the global settings for that creator alone. This is useful when you follow many channels but only want push alerts for a handful of favorites.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the creator's channel">
    Go to `hitorino.tv/@creatorname` or search for them using the search bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open notification preferences for that creator">
    Click the bell icon on their channel page (next to the Subscribe button). A small panel opens with options specific to that creator.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your alert level">
    Select one of the preset alert levels, or click **Custom** to toggle individual notification types on or off for this creator:

    * **All Alerts** — live, new video, and mentions from this creator across all delivery channels
    * **Live Only** — push and in-app alerts only when they go live
    * **None** — no notifications from this creator (equivalent to muting)
    * **Custom** — pick exactly which types and delivery methods apply
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Changes save automatically when you close the panel. A confirmation toast confirms your selection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Muting Creators

Muting stops all notifications from a creator without unfollowing or unsubscribing. You keep access to their content and your subscription stays active — you just won't be alerted about new activity.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the creator's channel page">
    Navigate to `hitorino.tv/@creatorname`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the bell menu">
    Click the bell icon next to the Subscribe button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select None">
    Choose **None** from the alert level options. All notifications from this creator are suspended immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To unmute, repeat the steps and choose any option other than **None**.

<Tip>
  You can see a full list of muted creators by going to **Settings → Notifications → Muted Creators**. This makes it easy to review and reinstate alerts in bulk.
</Tip>

## Email Frequency and Unsubscribing

If you receive too many emails, go to **Settings → Notifications → Email Preferences** and switch from **Immediate** to **Daily Digest** for any notification type. You can also click **Unsubscribe from all notification emails** at the bottom of any Hitorino notification email — this disables email delivery for all types while leaving in-app and push notifications untouched.

<Warning>
  Unsubscribing from notification emails via an email footer link only affects notification emails. You will still receive transactional emails such as payment receipts, password reset requests, and account security alerts. Those cannot be disabled.
</Warning>

## Notification History

The bell dropdown in the navigation bar shows your most recent 50 notifications. To browse older notifications, click **See All** at the bottom of the dropdown. The full notification history page shows the past 90 days of activity and lets you filter by notification type. To clear all notifications at once, click **Mark All as Read** or **Clear All** at the top of the history page.

<Accordion title="Why am I not receiving push notifications even though they're enabled?">
  A few things can block push notifications after you've enabled them:

  * **Browser permission revoked:** Open your browser settings, find Hitorino in the site permissions list, and re-enable notifications.
  * **Do Not Disturb mode:** Your operating system's Do Not Disturb or Focus mode can suppress all app and browser notifications. Check your system notification settings.
  * **Battery saver or power mode:** Some mobile devices suppress background push delivery in aggressive battery-saving modes. Allow Hitorino to run in the background.
  * **Expired subscription:** Push notification subscriptions can expire. Visit **Settings → Notifications** and click **Refresh Push Subscription** to re-register your device.
