# Settings Menu: Groupchat Widget, Dark Mode, Follow-up List & More in ChatSyncs

> Everything behind the Shared Inbox's Settings (gear) menu — the internal Groupchat Widget, Dark Mode, the Follow-up List export, adding a subscriber, and installing ChatSyncs as an app.

The **Settings (⚙️)** icon at the bottom-left of the Shared Inbox opens a menu with several
tools that don't fit anywhere else:

</Frame>

## Filter Channel & Account

Switch which WhatsApp number or channel the inbox shows — see [Filter Conversations by Channel &
Account](/learn/chatsyncs-shared-inbox/filter-conversations-by-channel-account-in-chatsyncs) for the full walkthrough.

## Follow-up List

See every scheduled follow-up reminder across all conversations in one table, and export them —
see [Follow-up Reminders & Message
Sequences](/learn/chatsyncs-shared-inbox/follow-up-reminders-message-sequences-in-chatsyncs) for how to create one.

## Enable Notification

Turns on browser/desktop notifications for new messages, so you don't have to keep the Shared
Inbox tab in view to know a customer replied.

## Groupchat Settings (Beta)

A floating internal group-chat widget for your team — separate from customer conversations —
that sits on top of the Shared Inbox for quick teammate-to-teammate chat.

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/chatsyncs/mUdTns9DCmiahi1G/images/learn/whatsapp-shared-inbox/step-42-group-chat-settings-form.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=mUdTns9DCmiahi1G&q=85&s=ec29462835252ff409a68f64933f5407" alt="Group Chat Settings form with Group Name, Group Icon upload, Add Group Members, Groupchat Position (Top-left, Bottom-left, Top-right, Bottom-right), X-axis Offset, Y-axis Offset, and a Group Status Enable toggle" width="521" height="546" data-path="images/learn/whatsapp-shared-inbox/step-42-group-chat-settings-form.png" />
</Frame>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name the group">e.g. `Sales Team`.</Step>
  <Step title="Upload a Group Icon (optional)">A small image shown on the floating widget.</Step>
  <Step title="Add Group Members">Pick which teammates or teams can see and use this group chat, e.g. `Reddy Sales Team`.</Step>
  <Step title="Set the Groupchat Position">Where the floating widget sits on screen — **Top-left**, **Bottom-left**, **Top-right**, or **Bottom-right**.</Step>
  <Step title="Fine-tune with X-axis / Y-axis Offset (optional)">Nudge the widget's exact pixel position if it overlaps something else on screen.</Step>
  <Step title="Turn on Group Status">The **Enable** toggle controls whether the widget shows at all.</Step>
  <Step title="Click Save">Publishes the widget.</Step>
</Steps>

Once enabled, the widget appears as a small floating icon at the position you chose:

</Frame>

Clicking it opens the team's group chat window:

</Frame>

**Example:** A `Sales Team` group chat lets the whole sales team coordinate on a big lead
without leaving the Shared Inbox or switching to a separate messaging app.

## Dark Mode

dark color theme:

</Frame>

A shortcut to add one subscriber by hand without leaving the Shared Inbox — the same modal
covered in [How Do I Add a Subscriber
Manually?](/learn/chatsyncs-subscriber-manager/how-do-i-add-a-subscriber-manually-with-chatsyncs), just reachable from here too.
