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.

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.

Yes please ASAP! We are a trauma treatment provider in Philadelphia and our telehealth activity requires fewer notifications / not more. The current design that allows calls through makes sense to a sales department that would benefit from maximum exposure, but in healthcare delivery, etc. let alone something as ugly as trauma, this has no place as an unregulated feature. Even if this has fewer votes coming in than other issues, I think it's mission critical to MS to deploy a Teams system that's not only healthcare capable, but it also has the subtlety to treat something like trauma with all the required sensitivity. Trauma is a great benchmark. Leaving "Status Changes to DND When in a Call/Meeting" setting out is the equivalent of building a counseling office without doors.

Hi MS Teams,
we encounter frustration every week at our company when chat messages pop up for people presenting. It should be a default setting that presenter mode automatically enables DND (and disables DND when exiting presenter mode).
Asking presenters to remember to manually activate DND before presenting (and remember to switch it off afterwards) is unintuitive and simply too complicated for the average (not so tech-savvy) user.
The comments show a great number of unfortunate incidents with personal messages being shown during presentation, and it's easy to image and experience this being a very frequent challenge.
It would be great to automate this setting as soon as possible.

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.
