Fixes #35326. Previously, the visibility of unread counts for both the home view and the "CHANNELS" heading was controlled by the "Hide unread summary counts" setting. Now, it controls only the visibility of unread counts in the home view.

# Configure unread message counters
|
|
|
|
To provide information about unread messages, Zulip can show unread message
|
|
counters next to channel names in the left sidebar. This is likely to be helpful
|
|
if you generally read (or otherwise [mark as read](/help/marking-messages-as-read))
|
|
all the messages in a channel, but may otherwise feel unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
## 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 or
|
|
opening it.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop-web}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|preferences}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Information**, select your preferred option from the
|
|
**Show unread counts for** dropdown.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Configure unread summary counters
|
|
|
|
You can configure whether Zulip displays unread count summaries on your home
|
|
view 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.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|via-left-sidebar}
|
|
|
|
1. Hover over your configured [home view](/help/configure-home-view) in the
|
|
**views** section of the left sidebar.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the **ellipsis** (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-more-vertical"></i>).
|
|
|
|
1. Click the option to hide or show the unread counter.
|
|
|
|
{tab|via-personal-settings}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|preferences}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Information**, toggle **Show unread count total on home view**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
