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

Question

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

thanks for the confirmation&nbsp;AndresGorzelany&nbsp;. 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

It's strange that you are not even getting the (1), did you disable tab notifications for the Teams Web?
