Mute notifications during a meeting in Microsoft Teams
You can avoid unwanted distractions during meetings by muting notifications. You'll still get alerts about activity related to the meeting you're in—like when someone sends a message to the meeting chat—but all other activity will be muted while you're in the meeting.
Turn off notifications during a meeting
To turn off notifications during meetings:
-
In Teams, select Settings and more > Settings .
-
Select Notifications and activity .
-
Uncheck the Show notifications during calls and meetings box.
To turn them back on, select Settings and more > Settings > Notifications and activity and check the Show notifications during calls and meetings box.
Note: When you turn off notifications during meetings, you'll still receive meeting start notifications, calls, and urgent or priority notifications unless you turn them off in settings.
