Where do I manage notifications?
Open your Profile page and scroll to the Notifications card. Every player sees this card. If you also run at least one league, you'll see a second Administrator notifications card below it. Every toggle is account-wide — it applies to every league you take part in or run, not one league at a time.
Each toggle saves automatically as soon as you change it. You'll see a small confirmation message next to the section heading. There is no "Save" button.
Notifications every player gets
Three groups of toggles control the notifications you receive as a player. All of them are on by default. Each one controls every channel at once — email, the in-app bell, and browser push if you have it enabled.
Round activity — keeps you in step with rounds you're playing:
- When a round opens for submissions
- When voting opens for a round
- When round results are available
Reminders — nudges if a deadline is close and you haven't acted yet:
- Reminder if you haven't submitted yet (sent about 24 hours before the song submission deadline)
- Reminder if you haven't voted yet (sent about 24 hours before voting closes)
If you already submitted or voted, the reminder is skipped. Reminders only fire once per round.
Chat mentions — when someone tags you or your league in a league chat:
- When someone @mentions you (
@your-username) - When someone @mentions the whole league (
@league)
Administrator notifications
If you run a league, the Administrator notifications card shows up under your player notifications. These toggles only fire for leagues where you're a commissioner.
Player activity in leagues you run:
- When someone accepts your invite
- When someone declines your invite
- When a player leaves the league
- When a player submits a song
- When a player changes their submission
- When a player submits their votes
- When a player changes their votes
Chat mentions for commissioners:
- When someone @mentions the administrators (
@admin)
If you don't run any leagues, this card is hidden because none of its toggles would apply to you.
Browser push notifications
Browser push is a separate setting in the Push Notifications card. Click Enable and your browser will ask for permission. Once enabled, Music League can notify you about rounds, results, and comments even when the app isn't open.
A few things worth knowing:
- Push is per-browser and per-device. If you want notifications on your laptop and your phone, click Enable on both.
- If the status shows "Blocked by browser," your browser is blocking notifications at the site level and Music League can't re-ask. Open your browser's site settings for Music League, change Notifications from "Block" to "Allow" (or "Ask"), then reload the page and click Enable again.
- The Disable button turns push off for the current browser only. Other devices stay subscribed until you disable them there too.
Email vs. in-app vs. push
The toggles above control all three channels for a given notification at once. If you turn off When voting opens for a round, you stop getting that as an email, you stop seeing it in the bell, and you stop getting a push for it.
A few notifications aren't user-configurable — they always reach you:
- League invitations — you'll always get the email when someone invites you.
- Replies from support — replies to feedback you submitted always reach your inbox.
- Moderation, reports, and league or round status changes — in-app only, and tied to specific events you're involved in. These don't have toggles.
I turned notifications off but I'm still getting them
A few common causes:
- Another device is still subscribed. Push subscriptions are per-browser. Disable push on every browser and device where you previously enabled it.
- A message was already queued. If a notification was generated before you changed the setting, it may still arrive.
- Your browser has an old subscription cached. Click Disable in the Push Notifications card, clear the site's notification permission in your browser settings, then re-enable push if you want it back on.
- The notification is one that isn't covered by the toggles — like an invitation, a support reply, or a moderation alert. Those aren't user-configurable.
If none of that explains it, reach out to support with the notification you received and we'll take a look.
