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:

  1. In Teams, select Settings and more Settings and more> Settings Settings button.

  2. Select Notifications and activity Activity button.

  3. Clear the Show notifications during calls and meetings checkbox.

To turn them back on, select Settings and more Settings and more> Settings > Notifications and activityActivity button 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.
