Microsoft Teams serves as a widely used platform for collaboration, enabling real-time communication and teamwork among users. It includes a feature where you can mark your status as “Do Not Disturb,” effectively blocking notifications from disrupting you while engaged in work or concentrating on a specific project. Nevertheless, there may be occasions when you wish to deactivate this feature, either for a short period or indefinitely.
Temporary Disablement
If you just need to disable Do Not Disturb for a short period of time, you can do so by clicking on your profile picture in the top right corner of the Teams window and selecting “Set status” from the drop-down menu. From there, select “Available” or any other status that suits your needs.
Permanent Disablement
If you want to permanently disable Do Not Disturb in Microsoft Teams, you can do so by going to the Teams settings. Click on your profile picture again and select “Settings” from the drop-down menu. From there, select “Notifications” and then “Do not disturb.” You can then toggle off the “Automatically set my status to Do not disturb when I’m in a meeting or call” option.
Conclusion
Removing Do Not Disturb from Microsoft Teams is a simple process that can be done temporarily or permanently. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that you’re always available to receive notifications and communicate with your team members.
