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!

    Hi,

     

    Currently this is not a feature. Feel free to enter a feature request here: https://zoom.us/feed

     

    You can enable notifications following this link: ( like sound )

    https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362623

     

     

     

    Also, please ensure your notifications are enabled under Notifications and focus on your mac

     

     

     

    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

    Also, You can bounce your notifications continuously instead of just once

     

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