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.

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.

This feature is needed, yes you can set your status to Do not Disturb, but Team should do that when you are in a call or meeting automatically. If you manually set to DND you will eventually forget to turn it off.

We are running into issues where meeting reminders (from Teams not Outlook) are popping up during presentations to other clients. Unprofessional, and risks us losing the client.

I think it should be mandatory to have a block or mute rule when a user is presenting/in-a-call and do not want to receive any notifications, other calls, messages . I also suggest the possibility of having an automatic reply when the user is busy where we can edit and activate it whenever we need to.

Definitely a needed feature. With busy calendars and reminders, pop-ups and sounds become disruptive.

I would LOVE this feature! Also notifications playing a sound when on a call or while on the headset, the Jabra mutes the call and then plays the reminder or notification sound then switches back to the call. This is not Manufacturer specific but rather a notifications thing. When we're on calls on Teams, nothing should disturb the call

Hello, I wish for this feature as well.

I am also very surprised that Focus assist doesn't work with Teams. It makes Focus assist useless.

The only valid notification (popup/chat sound) during a meeting or 1:1 Call is the chat of that contact/group of participants. Also ignoring Focus Assist is really something that makes the goal of that Windows Feature that so many people waited for useless. If its a third party app, i would uninstall it and hope for an alternative, but i never expected MS to violate their own rules for an App that is so broadly spread. PLEASE MOVE THIS INTO PRODUCTION! Thanks, everybody.

Please enable this feature as well for when a call is made from teams to a regular phone number. For example using intellinet phone numbers.

This is becoming a serious issue for our staff, the pop-ups during screen sharing is not professional at all. I hope Microsoft can get this released soon - as Do Not Disturb is not always an option.

Seriously, how was this not a day 1 feature? Literally EVERY other virtual meeting platform can and will do this.

Is this still under review? I host a daily conf call and I want to TEams to suppress ANY banner chat pop-ups when I'm in a meeting. Why is this so difficult? Is Do Not Disturb the only way to do it?

Very annoying to get pop-ups of chats in a meeting I'm invited for yet are not attending!

Teams should also honor Windows focus assist settings for sound notifications.
