Question

Part of the badge notifications have disappeared.

After updating to version 7.1.8, I have noticed that new messages in certain channels do not trigger badge notifications, which causes me to miss messages. This issue never occurred in previous versions. I have confirmed that message alerts and badge‑count settings are enabled for all channels, yet the problem persists: new messages in some channels still show no badge notifications. Could you please advise how to resolve this issue? Alternatively, is anyone able to provide me with an older version of Zoom Workplace? Thank you!!

    Hi ​@OE Maomao Zhao,

    Thank you for reaching out.

     

    ✅ Troubleshooting Steps to Try First

     

    1️⃣ Reset Channel Notification Settings

    • Go to the affected channel → right-click or open channel settings.
    • Change the notification setting to Off, then back to All Messages.
    • Zoom supports notification settings both globally and per channel, so a channel-level state can differ from the global preference.

    2️⃣ Check OS-Level Notification Permissions

    • On macOS: System Settings → Notifications → Zoom → ensure badges are enabled.
    • On Windows: Settings → System → Notifications → Zoom → confirm badge/notification toggles are on.
    • The Zoom app reads the OS notification toggle status directly.

    3️⃣ Restart the Zoom Client

    • Fully quit Zoom (not just close the window) and reopen it.
    • This has resolved similar notification/badge issues for other users.

    4️⃣ Flush Local Cache / XMPP Sync

    • If the above doesn't work, a user cache flush and XMPP sync has been attempted in similar cases, though results have varied.

    5️⃣ Specify the Affected Channels When Reporting

    • You may also submit a Support Ticket using this link. When filing a support ticket or posting internally, specify that 7.1.8 introduced the behavior, which channels are affected, and whether pop-up notifications, red badges, or both are missing — that distinction helps isolate the problem.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi ​@Tash_Balaguer , Thank you for your reply. I have tried some of the methods above, but the issue persists. To be honest, I manage far too many channels, making it difficult to configure badge notifications for each channel individually. For this reason, all channel notifications were left at default settings previously, and I am certain I did not modify them. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, as well as clearing the cache, yet the problem remains unresolved. Could you provide the previous version of Zoom?
