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 Teams settings and more icon.> Settings > Mute notifications.

To turn them back on while in the meeting, select More actions Teams settings and more icon.> Settings > Allow notifications.

Note: Muting notifications during meetings blocks all notifications except meeting started, calls, and urgent and priority notifications.
