Mute notifications during a meeting in Microsoft Teams
You can 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 will be muted while you're in the meeting.
Mute during a meeting
While you're in a meeting, go to the top of the meeting window and select More actions > Settings > Mute notifications.
To turn them back on while in the meeting, select More actions > Settings > Allow notifications.
Note: Muting notifications during meetings blocks all notifications except meeting started, calls, and urgent and priority notifications.
Mute from your settings

Turn the toggle on for Mute notifications during meetings and calls.
Note: The dropdown settings under Meeting started notification and Meeting chat notifications aren't affected by choosing to mute notifications during meetings and calls, you can modify those separately.
