Everyone’s environment may vary depending on the browser and operating system they are using. The steps and appearance of the notification prompt may differ slightly between browsers and operating systems.
Below is an example of what the “Allow notifications” pop-up may look like when using Windows as the operating system and Google Chrome as the browser.
Click Allow on the pop up to allow Cloud IBR to send notifications to your browser.
