Hi,  
In my project, When all user enter the group channel, I always call channel.markAsRead()  
But, when other user enter the channel, channel.getReadMembers(message, true) returns 0  
And also channel.getUnreadMemberCount(message) returns 0  
Please help me…

Hi @11118,  
If I understand your scenario correctly, all users will call `channel.markAsRead()` on entering a channel, so when other user enter the channel, that user will also call `channel.markAsRead()`, is this correct?  
If so, then you’re expecting to get a list of that “other user” and yourself as a result from `channel.getReadMembers(message, true)`, right?

`getReadMembers()` will return an empty list if the given `message` is an admin message, or if the channel is a super channel. Could you check if this is not the case?
