Scheduled Do Not Disturb, like Slack
Do Not Disturb should block all notifications and I'd love to be able to schedule DND, like on Slack

Thank you for your feedback. The team is looking into this feature and considering solutions. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

I came here looking for the exact thing. Working with some offshore teams, I do not like getting random Teams calls at 3am my time, and if I forget to set offline, this happens every single time.
Thanks

This would be really useful - we know it can happen as Insights does it with Focus Time planning.

The best way to achieve this is to duplicate a 'Focus Time' event and customise the dates to your needs.

Please make this happen. I've always just wanted an option in MS Outlook alone that was a DND status as there are times were you need calendar events that are for working time and not a meeting. In other words, I have a two hour working session on a MS power solution and need to block the time on the calendar but my options are busy (which no one pays attention to) or out of office (which isnt actually the case) and raises eyebrows by colleagues. I would like a DND that spans ms outlook and ms teams.

This would be great. Can it also have an option to turn it on when you are in a meeting or an appointment in Outlook.

This would be so helpful! I'm starting to schedule my own consistent Focus Time, rather than allowing Microsoft Analytics to schedule it at random times on my behalf. Would love to be able to schedule DND for Teams.

Looks like Cortana can do this... Weekly Focus Time for example. Why can't I :(

Please give the option to set do not disturb. That would be so helpful, especially if it actually blocked all notifications at that time. It's so distracting.

Yes!!! I teach webinars and do sales demos for software via Zoom every day and the Teams messages are so intrusive! I also, obviously, need my computer sound to stay on while teaching or demoing to talk to my attendees so I can't just mute everything so that Teams doesn't ding in my ear!
And yeah, I know I could manually set DND but that adds to the mile long list of prep I already have to do and doesn't prevent me from forgetting and staying on DND until well after the session and I end up missing out on urgent notifications.

I agree with your presence automatically set to "Do not disturb", during a meeting or appointment. Unfortunately, the "Busy" presence does not prevent a user from sending a message while you are in a meeting! :(

There should be the option to set status of a meeting or appointment to either BUSY or DO NOT DISTURB. This would a huge benefit!

I use my computer and projector every day in class. If I forget to manually set DND on Teams, the kids see my notifications! If we could schedule DND for school hours this wouldn't be a problem.

A status of "Busy" in the Outlook calendar needs to automatically set the user's Teams status to "Do Not Disturb." Teams notifications are extremely intrusive when in a meeting, especially when screen sharing via a WebEx.

absolutely! Also - what happened to the "Show As" function that's available in Outlook for meetings that includes "Free, Working Elsewhere, Tentative, Out of Office" Let's get that functionality when making appointments thru Teams calendar.

Would be amazing. Much of the annoyance will be solved with OS level notifications. I have my Mac on DND during presentations or important deep work sessions and teams is the only app that has notifications still come through. Being able to schedule DND and custom message settings would be a great level up.

I would really like to schedule Do Not Disturb, I forget to set do not disturb when I have client meetings and find other people sending me questions via Teams whilst I'm trying to concentrate and I lose my train of thought.
