Set persistent notification for certain app

The problem: I recieve skype messages while afk and I don't notice the little orange dot in the trayicon when I'm back.

The question: I'd like to make Skype's notifications persistent on screen (until I dismiss them) so that I don't miss them. Is it possible to make notifications sent by apps persistent?

I'm on: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using Skypeforlinux (Skype version 8.22.0.2)

Any other solution to make me notice skype's notifications (like make blinking dock icon) is welcomed

P.S. it is not a duplicate of older similar question since those refer to a different skype version that didn't used the system notification by default. Now it does and it isn't possible to customize it anymore (I was used to setup a messagebox whenever a message from a new chat was sent)

You can have persistent notifications simply by turning on "permanent notifications" in Tweaks application.

To install tweaks:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

To install the gnome extensions:

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions

Then press Super key, search for tweaks & turn on permanent notifications option in it.
