How to Mute Microsoft Teams Notifications for Calls and Meetings
You mute Microsoft Teams notifications for calls and meetings by enabling the ‘Quiet hours’ setting.
Quiet hours in Microsoft Teams act as a do-not-disturb mode, silencing less urgent alerts like chat messages and channel activity. This feature ensures you remain focused without missing critical communications.
With Quiet hours activated, Teams will suppress notifications for new messages and general updates. However, you will still receive alerts for incoming calls and the start of your scheduled meetings, ensuring you stay connected to essential interactions.
You can easily access this setting to regain control over your notification experience.
Mute Microsoft Teams notifications by going to Settings, then Notifications and activity, and toggling on “Mute all notifications (except for calls and meetings)”. This silences non-urgent alerts while still notifying you of calls and meetings.
What does mute all notifications in Teams do?
Avoid unwanted distractions during meetings by muting notifications. You'll still get alerts about activity related to the meeting you're in, like when someone sends a message to the meeting chat. But all other activity is muted while you're in the meeting.
