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 is muted while you're in the meeting.
To turn off notifications during meetings:
- In Teams, select Settings and more
> Settings
. - Select Notifications and activity
. - In Display
clear the Show notifications during calls and meetings checkbox.
To turn them back on, select Settings and more
> Settings > Notifications and activity
and select Show notifications during calls and meetings.
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.
