A colored notification bubble/symbol on chats (direct messages and channel messages) to make it more apparent there is something unread within it.

Finding that the new update is growing on me!! But I wish there was some sort of way to make it MORE noticeable that there's an unread message in a Direct Message or Channel Message when viewing those under the Home navigation segment. Might be a me thing. Currently, new messages make the chat name bolded. Attached is current and a mock-up of a possible solution?

Hey Cece Schweitzer! How we have it set up is that the Channel will be bold if there's a new message for you to read, but there will be a badge if you're @mentioned. Direct Messages treat every message as a "mention".
Do you think this is enough? I'm curious what tool you are using/were using before ClickUp Chat?

Brendan W Hi there! Ah, gotcha, okay. I always lived in Chat prior to the 4.0 update because I liked how my Favorite chats were pinned to the top of all, hence why I'm living in / gravitating toward Home dash now. I guess I was misremembering if a numbered badge appeared on Channels, too, regardless of mention or not, similar to how Direct Messages have it. We utilize a mix of the two a lot. Example below from my own screen now, basically already doing the thing despite my ask lol.
Perhaps the real ask is Pinned/Favorite chats back in the Chat dash.

Cece Schweitzer: On Home, you can create a custom section or utilize the default "Favorites" section to store any items you wish! This could be specific DMs, Channels, tasks, Docs, Lists, etc.
Are you looking for these sections to appear on the dedicated "Chat" entry point here in my picture below?
But yes, Channels would only show a numbered badge if you're @mentioned. If you'd like to see a setting added for this, I can merge your request into one that already exists for that!
