Automatic Mute Notifications When On Video or Audio Call
Automatically mute all Teams notifications when on a video or audio conference call. Mute all notifications that are outside the conference call itself.

I see this post from September. Has there been a change to be able to stop/block chats from a meeting that you didnt sign into? I'm double booked often and getting multiple pop ups.

Is there an update on this? We use a combination of various conferencing softwares with our customers booking calls on Zoom, Teams, Google Hangouts, Etcetera. Is there a way to mute all?

Should really have been a default option. I'm for muting the sound of course (but I have already done that permanently) and above all, deactivating all banners during meetings and calls, including the notifications of the chat of the current meeting or call. Please can you add a parameter "Deactivate all banners and mute sounds during meetings or calls" to activate or not?
Currently, there are two ways to do this, which both have their flaws:
- deactivate all banners (and sounds) all the time
- manually actually the DND mode when calling or meeting, and it's really a pain that it has to be manual. -

Please do this as soon as possible. With so many children now using Teams, there MUST be some way to stop notifications during a conference call.

Agreed. When I am in a teams meeting with the comments open/enlarged on the RH side of screen, all of the new comment pop ups for the meeting I am currently in are covering the actual area where I type to comment. If there is a lot of chatter, the new comment pop ups build up on top of each other and cover the entire comment area of the meeting. Very cumbersome.

I would also like it to change my status automatically to Do Not Disturb when I am presenting in Teams. This feature was available in Skype and worked very well.

Teams message notifications are almost breaking my eardrum during calls, not to mention that you can not hear the other person while the chime in blasting in your ear. Really need to fix this. And... OMG you have known about this issue since April 2020?!?

Yes, please at minimum mute other calls when on a call. The ability to mute chat notifications would be good too.

I concur
Can we get this added. In our office, we are new teams users and this would be a very good feature. -

I would like to see chat notifications muted from within the conference call too, if I already have the chat window open. If I have the meeting chat window open, I can already see new chat messages. Additional pop-up and audio notifications of these messages are redundant and extremely annoying.

Can someone do something about it? It should disable notification automatically while on call/meeting/etc.

I personally think https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/41241316-turn-off-chat-notifications-for-current-meeting is more important.

How was this not the default option? Surely MS uses teams in their own meetings and realize this is an awful design.
