Automatically mute all Teams notifications when on a video or audio conference call. Mute all notifications that are outside the conference call itself.

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

Agreed, make it an optional setting in Teams so people can set it to not disturb them with notifications when on a Teams call, or allow them if people like to see them as they come in.

Hi,
I am not able to configure chat pop up sound. If I am not in front of my Machine I am not able to see if any of the colleague is trying to contact me on MSTeam. Pls suggest.

Coming from SfB to teams, I'm surprised by how many features/basic functionality (like this) have been in Skype for years and are missing from Teams.

Today someone finally brought this to my attention. I thought the boop-beep was only audible on my end. It's always been annoying to me, but now I know that it also annoys everyone in our meetings.

This shouldn't even be called a feature, it is a basic functionality. I should be able to suppress all notifications, including Outlook email notifications, during a meeting so I don't lose focus.

Is this really not available yet? This should be the FIRST thing (not even a feature, just a must have) implemented in a phone system?

A basic phone function like this and teams calling doesn't have it. It's almost laughable however I can't laugh as its extremely annoying to get a call when on a call. Ridiculous and Microsoft should know better
...but you don't do you -

Please also provide the option to permanently mute all chat notifications even within the active meetings. In my classes, the participation marks come from the chat box responses, and the moment I answer a single question, response notifications from all my peers end up blocking the actual chat text box, preventing me from responding to back-to-back questions in a timely manner. I end up having to switch windows to the meeting's channel itself, scroll to the first comment that was made, and then select the mute notifications button. This is very stressful, especially since the classes with this participation format take place multiple times per week!

Surprised this isn't a feature already as very annoying and having to manually switch off and then switch back on notifications isn't really an option, when other tools automatically do this.

This would be a great feature. Having the pop ups and pinging is very distracting during meetings.

I find the pinging every time someone posts a comment in a presentation really annoying. You cannot mute those pings even by changing to do not disturb. It seems like the only way to stop them is to have the comments pane open on the side, which reduces the area for the presentation. Massive oversight and extremely annoying. Come on Microsoft, sort it out.

How is this not a thing? If I'm in a call I should not get a ring tone saying I have another call. For those of us using the softphone our customers can hear when we get another call. I know I can set do not disturb, but I shouldn't have to do that EVERY time I take a phone call.

The only workaround i found is to set our status as Do Not Disturb while on a Teams call.
If anyone has other workaround please let us know.

It's incredible that this feature doesn't exist yet. It's impossible to concentrate and talk while the phone is constantly ringing. Please enable this option as soon as possible

I use Teams to receive inbound calls all day. It's very distracting getting sounds for each notification while on the call. If I turn sounds off for notifications, I then don't get the ringtone for my next call. It would be good if there were 2 sound options so you could mute chat/channels notifications but still have ringtone on.

This is incredibly distracting and embarrassing when using teams to present to clients and superiors. The amount of time I spend switching conversations to mute or DND...

This is really basic stuff, and definitely necessary.

It's rather embarrassing when alert/messages keep popping up especially in an important meeting or townhall event.

Definitely needed...especially because the notification automatically block you from entering a chat in the call you are currently in. Of course, you can mute them manually, but this should be the default.
Resizing the window works as well, but most users will not think of this.
