Microsoft is adding a mute notifications feature to its Microsoft 365 suite. Customers will be able to mute notifications during meetings and events starting from February, according to a statement on the Microsoft 365 message board.
You will be able to mute notifications on Microsoft 365 suite
Despite the fact that there is no public announcement, ZDNet reported on the update and Microsoft confirmed it, referring to a Microsoft 365 road map page that specifies that the adjustment will be implemented in the following month.
Microsoft: “Users will be able to mute notifications during meetings thereby helping focus during meetings. A user can choose to mute notifications for all meetings or per meeting basis.”
By the end of February, users will be able to mute notifications by clicking on the ellipsis next to their profile picture in Global Settings.
“The current experience of receiving notifications during meetings is highly distracting and there is no easy way to turn off these notifications making it highly painful for users.”
Microsoft has also added a method to accomplish this using the uBar, which enables users to set meeting notifications for each.
Last month, the company added end-to-end encryption support for Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams has supported E2EE since the beta stage, but that feature was only available for public preview.
