      to a given stream.
    * `desktop_notifications`: A boolean specifiying whether desktop notifications
      are enabled for the given stream.
    * `push_notifications`: A boolean specifiying whether push notifications
      are enabled for the given stream.

      to the top.
    * `email_address`: Email address of the given stream.
    * `in_home_view`: Whether the given stream is muted or not. Muted streams do
