DO NOT DISTURB- DOESN'T WORK

Make the "Do Not Disturb" actually not disturb! I hate that I still receive notifications on my PC as well as on my phone when in DND. It doesn't even send a message to people that this person is unavailable so they can't send you a message.

    It needs to get fixed urgently!!!! Lots of people work under tremendous pressure. It is vital to have the DND option working so we can focus on our work and guarantee a high quality deliver. Please,fix it with an auto-reply to chat messages. Soon, please!

    Please fix this. A lot of our users wants it to work like it use be in skype for business. Block chats if in this status.

    Please fix, an implementation similar to the one in Skype for Business would be great. So, where people can really no longer message you (except prio contacts defined by oneself).

    At the moment, I still get the icon indicating I have new messages, even when focusing or dnd.

    Do not disturb used to work, but no longer does after some update from MS Teams. Now, even in DND mode, my taskbar flashes even with focus assist turned on. It's extremely distracting, especially when I'm sharing screens in a call. I uninstalled the client because this feature is that annoying. The web version of Teams is not nearly as good, but I don't feel like I have any other choice.

    This feature does not work as it's defined. Users are still getting message notification. Please resolve it soon.

    DND should be automatically active when in a call and should block others from contacting you through chat.

    Please make it an actual DND like Skype for Business so that people other than my priority access cannot ping me when I'm on DND. It's pointless if only the notifications are blocked but people still message and expect a reply from me.

    Also I'm using "focus time" which is supposed to block notifications but the icon in the taskbar keeps blinking. PLEASE FIX.

    Yes please. I don't know which part of "do not disturb" is difficult to comprehend, but this is a much needed option. If possible, with an auto-reply to chat messages.

    Please correct this issue - and allow the user to not receive messages when status is set as Do Not Disturb

  • nysean commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is an extremely frustrating issue, particularly since so many people seem to not even look at a person's status before trying to message them. I can't keep getting interrupted all the time.

  • Doug Black commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I can't turn on DND on my computer without continually getting pinged or called through Teams. When I have DND on, it means I do not want to be disturbed. This needs to get fixed.

    Microsoft please fix. This has been ongoing for too long. My users raise concerns about this daily.
