Show unread message number on dock icon (MacOS)

I switched from a windows PC to a mac, and I was wondering if there was any way I could have the app icon in the dock display the number of unread messages like it does on a windows (or like how iMessages displays the number of unread messages). Otherwise, the Zoom icon only bounces once when I receive a message, and if I don't see it, I don't know that I've gotten a message. Thanks!

Hope that helps

 

 

 

Hi! Actually, I finally figured out how to do it. I think you just have to go into system settings and then notifications and turn on "badge application icon" under Zoom. That did it for me

yes thats correct, I suggested that above too. Also, You can change bounce to continuous so it doesn't just bounce once. Glad your issue is resolved

This is under Teams Chat -> Other settings -> Change once to Continously
