Red dot for teams online showing unread messages (on browser tab) same as unread emails in outlook

Is there a way to have a red dot on the Teams tab similar to how unread emails are on the Outlook tab. see below.

 

 

We have recently migrated from a Google environment and have been instructed to reduce emails but using teams/chat. However the functionality is underwhelming in comparison and our whole team are constantly missing notifications, and now resorting to sending emails again. 

 

Surely it is a simple fix but we just can't find it amongst the multitude of settings  

  • Hello, How are you?
    The Teams web app currently doesn't include that, but you will see a (1) added to the title bar for new messages.

      thanks for the confirmation AndresGorzelany . When you say title bar do you mean 'taskbar'? is there no way to see at a glace that there are messages waiting if you are not using the teams desktop app?

      thanks
