iMessage Messages - Need to Mark as Read

I can't seem to figure out how to mark all messages in iMessage as read on my MacBook Pro. I mostly use my iPhone so I'm always caught up on my messages. But when I turn on my MacBook, it currently says '379'. Is there a way to mark all these as read?

My experience has been that as soon as they scroll across your screen in messages on either device, they will automatically be marked as read. no separate operation seem to be required.


It takes more than just seeing the message in a banner alert, though. They have to appear in messages window.
