How do I stop red dots/notifications in sidebar of Zoom Workplace app for my own activity and people entering the room/chat?

I get a red dot in the sidebar of the Zoom Workplace App and individual red dots I have to clear out in the chat pane of the workplace app every time someone enters anything into the chat or enters a meeting in my personal meeting room, and a red dot notification every time *I* enter anything in the chat during a meeting I am hosting. How do I stop this? I would like notifications for 1 or 2 chat threads that are useful and important, but they get drowned out by all the spam notifications that I don’t need (e.g. I have to “mark as read” every single time I put something in my own meeting’s chat so I can see when a colleague has added to the chat) I am in meetings 6+ hours a day with many people. The red dot has become completely meaningless, and I miss important messages in the giant pool of unnecessary notifications.

I want to clarify that I have turned off every single setting related to notifications in the Zoom Desktop App and in my computer’s settings. I still get a red dot in the sidebar and a flood of separate red dots I have to clear out in the chat pane of the desktop app for each instance of me or anyone else entering anything into the chat, any time there is any activity in any of my many, many meetings. How do I get meaningful, useful notifications instead of just “someone, possibly even you, did something in a meeting!”?
