How do i mark all text/chat Messages as read on Mac OS?

Running Big Sur, but this applies to my other OS's. How do I mark all of the messages queued up in my Messages app as "read". Currently shows 33 messages as Unread that I have read on my iPhone.

MacBook Air

I double-checked my iphone and found that one of the Mac's (the one having a problem) did not have the Text Forwarding selected. Not sure how it got deselected, but I reselected it. I'm waiting to see if the read messages disappear.
