## Configure unread message counters
Zulip offers an option to display a dot instead of an unread counter for channels
in the left sidebar. You can use a dot for all channels, or just for channels you
have [muted](/help/mute-a-channel). You will still be able to see the number of
unread messages in a channel by moving your mouse over it in the left sidebar.

## Configure unread summary counters
You can configure whether Zulip displays unread count summaries on your home
view and channels section in the left sidebar. You will still be able to see the
summary counts by moving your mouse over them in the left sidebar. The counter
on your home view will also be shown when you're in that view.
