You can also use the keyboard shortcut **cmd + ,**. This will bring up the menu:

## Appearance

Select Light mode, Dark mode, or tell Tuple to pick up your system preferences.

## Menu bar icon

Choose which icon Tuple displays in the macOS menu bar. You can pick between the default **Tuple Logo** and **Pear Buddy**. The icon adapts to your system appearance and tints white during active calls.

## Behavior

**Launch Tuple at login**

When this feature is enabled, Tuple will automatically launch when you log into your computer after a restart or explicit logout. Note that it will not launch if your computer is merely locked or asleep.

**Always show dock icon**

With this enabled, Tuple will always have an icon in the dock / command-tab carousel. When disabled, a Tuple icon will only appear in those locations when you're on a call.

**Enable call feedback popup**

When this feature is enabled, the call feedback form will show up after you conclude a Tuple call.

## Privacy

**Show my friends who I'm pairing with**

If selected, people you and your pair both know will be able to see your call's participants in their contact list. You can learn more [here](/pairing-with-tuple/showing-who-youre-pairing-with).

**Report call statistics**

When this setting is on, we get occasional snapshots of the metrics from calls such as frame rate, latency, etc.
