Zattaltin 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Is there a way that I can disable the notification for workchat? I don't want to see all of the chat messages come up, seeing the number on the icon in the task bar is good enough for me. I did notice that you can turn off the sync notifications but no the work chat. Thanks for the help? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,666 Posted January 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 7, 2015 Not (yet) AFAIK - Evernote seems to think that you need to know if someone is trying to get in touch... but it is early days and I'm sure there's developments in the pipeline. Link to comment
Claire 1 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I bought Evernote for personal information, not work, so I'll never use this feature. I would like to suppress Work Chat completely within the Windows desktop version. What I find frustrating is it appears one can do so under View > Left Panel by removing the check mark next to it. Once I remove the check mark the Work Chat section disappears from my left panel. However, this setting is not retained the next time I open Evernote so I have to do it all over again. This is irritatingly repetitive. There are a couple other sections I don't need (why do I need the Premium sales pitch section when I already have a Premium account?) that behave this way as well. Clearly, the settings for that sub-menu are not saved across the board. Hope we see this resolved soon. Link to comment

After you configure your left panel to remove Work Chat and Premium, you need to exit Evernote completely to write those changes out to the Windows registry. The changes will be retained once you do that. (If you rely on this happening when you shutdown your computer, the data is not always flushed properly, depending on how quickly the operating system forces Evernote to close.) Link to comment
Claire 1 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks so much for the information. But, I must be missing something. I have unchecked the items and then clicked File > Exit. It warns clipping will be disabled and I click ok. I reopen Evernote and the items are again in the left column.I have unchecked the items and clicked File > Sign out <email>. I log back in. Items still in left column.I've bounced the machine between the exit/open and logout/login steps. I also did these steps without bouncing it. I logged out, ran Norton's registry cleaner and logged back in.Those pesky sections are still clinging to my left panel! Can you suggest some other process I might follow? Link to comment
VladimirM 0 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I totally echo this request - I dont want another chat (i.e. evernote chat), or at least I want to have the option to disable real-time notifications (!) in desktop version. Thank you, and btw many thanks for otherwise great software. Link to comment
lauralilo 0 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is there now a solution to turn off the chat notifications? I see that this post is one year old. It's very annoying while working and I would like to keep using evernote at work. Link to comment

wyantm3 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Almost 2 years later, and still no option to disable chat pop ups on windows. Super annoying especially since it displays the entire message, which floods my screen. HELP! Link to comment
John Wood 0 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I'm being driven quietly mad by Evernote work-chat messages flooding my screen. Is it really the case that there's no way of turning off these highly intrusive messages?! Evernote is a superb resource, which is proving incredibly useful in all areas of my working/personal digital life, but these uncontrolled pop-ups are enough to drive me to unsubscribe from the service unless Evernote can fix this problem. Any help or advice very much appreciated. Thank you Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,666 Posted December 6, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi. What sort of messages are you getting? Marketing stuff, or notifications about new messages? Link to comment
Zattaltin 0 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 In my case it's chat messages as stated in the post you posted directly after. We don't want the pop up. We just want the messages to silently arrive based on a customized option. It's BS that Evernote hasn't addressed this almost 3 years. I continue to pay for the service but UNDER PROTEST!

Claire 1 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Someone gave me a solution that worked for me some time back. (Sorry I forgot to post it here!) 1 - In desktop version go to the View drop down menu. 2 - Make sure there is no check mark next to "Work Chat" 3 - LOGOFF of every instance you have running - mobile, web, desktop 4 - Open desktop - problem should be fixed. 5 - Fingers crossed for you!

Zattaltin 0 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 But does that stop the work chat function or just the pop ups? Link to comment
Claire 1 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Absolutely nothing about Work Chat pops up nor shows on the left panel. Since it no longer engages with me, as far as I'm concerned, it is turned off. I hope it works for you, too. Link to comment
