As GM, periodically I'll address certain chat messages to certain players. It would be helpful if I could be confident the player saw the chat message without me having to bring it up audibly, "Steve, did you see the message I just wrote you in chat?" What this feature would be ESPECIALLY critical for is when sending Whispers to certain players since, of course, audibly mentioning the message defeats the purpose of secrecy. Whispers are already a different color (yellow), which indeed helps. However, I can tell you players still routinely miss those messages, if they're not expecting them - and commonly the GM needs the player to see a Whisper quickly. This would be the rough equivalent of using @steve, like we do in social media platforms, to ensure the person is notified. Implementation thoughts: ---Perhaps, if that particular message both changed color and continually blinked (but necessitating the ability to deactivate the blinking). ---Using an unique audible sound is not advisable, since other players can also usually hear that sound through audio, defeating a Whisper's secrecy. ---The issue with one-time notification alerts, like a recipient's entire Roll20 screen blinking once, is that the player has to be looking at their screen right then. If others have found methods/workarounds to address this, I would love to hear them! Thank you
