More control with Teams chat notifications (Duration, marking as Read)
Teams notification pops up on the screen (awesome). I can even preview it or see that it was just a completely unnecessary but polite thumbs up or thank you. The notification then disappears after a certain time, or, I choose to close it. That stuff is all good.
However, there is no way to mark it as read. This causes the Teams icon on the taskbar/and mobile to display unread messages until I go into the application, scroll through countless chats or futz with the buggy feed filters to find and open the message I just read, simply to tell Teams that I've seen it. That part is maddening.
Can you please put a button on the notification window to mark as read and close? Or, and possibly better, allow the close button to mark as read. That way, if it times out and disappears, it's still unread, but if the user actually clicks the close button, it goes away and marks it as read.
