Description
As a Rocket.Chat admin, one of the most common complaints I receive is from users being bombarded by notifications. The per-channel interface to mute notifications is not immediately obvious to most users and is quite buried (4 clicks to mute/unmute a channel).
I believe it would help greatly if the mute feature were more readily accessible via the sidebar per-channel popover menu (triple-dot context menu). This seems like a more natural location and would require less digging (2 clicks to mute/unmute a channel).
Additionally, at the risk of cluttering the UI, it might be helpful to display a small icon denoting the channel has been muted.

Research direction
Start by locating the sidebar per-channel popover menu and the existing per-channel mute/unmute control. Compare the current interaction with the provided mock-up, then determine how the popover action and muted-channel icon should appear. Done means users can mute or unmute a channel from the sidebar popover and can identify muted channels there.
