## Description[#](https://libtmux.org/en/tmux/latest/catalog/options/activity-action/#description)

Set action on window activity when [`monitor-activity`](https://libtmux.org/en/tmux/latest/catalog/options/monitor-activity/) is on. `any` means activity in any window linked to a session causes a bell or message (depending on [`visual-activity`](https://libtmux.org/en/tmux/latest/catalog/options/visual-activity/)) in the current window of that session, `none` means all activity is ignored (equivalent to [`monitor-activity`](https://libtmux.org/en/tmux/latest/catalog/options/monitor-activity/) being off), `current` means only activity in windows other than the current window are ignored and `other` means activity in the current window is ignored but not those in other windows.
