Change Outlook Calendar Invite to set Teams Status to Do Not Disturb
- Sep 29, 2020
Hi,
Updated 2021, feedback under review
Enable Scheduled Do Not Disturb, like Slack · Community (microsoft.com)
Would recommend to vote on it to push it up the agenda. By voting on it, you'll be notified if Microsoft picks it up. I think that this would be a great feature and I would love to see it introduced so voted it up too
Best, Chris
nt_n15a I am actually looking for the opposite solution - how to turn off DND during Focus Time. Don't judge ;). It's a necessary evil at times. Any suggestions welcome!
Anyway - I rename and categorize (and move around) my pre-set Focus Time blocks. This allows me to earmark time for specific activities, while maintaining inclusion in Focus Time stats. Maybe this helps you too.
I am trying to solve for keeping the Focus Time stats + being available in Teams concurrently - struggling to find an existing solution.
- TDubzSep 16, 2021Copper ContributorSame! I'd like the "Focus Time" to set my status to "Busy" like it does in Slack, not to DND...

katyh432 - This feature is now available
Open MyAnalytics -> Config Settings -> Plan Configuration
Change "Silence Teams notifications during focus time?" to No
This leaves your status set as Busy.- juliecal73Sep 14, 2022Copper Contributor
malcb13 - this is the opposite issue. We're asking to be able to set a normal meeting to DND vs. Busy/Tentative/etc. instead of having to set up a Focus Meeting and repurpose it.

This path doesn't exist anywhere in Teams, or Teams settings, or account settings.
Also, I'm not seeing that in Outlook settings anywhere.
Does anyone know where this is referencing, to turn off Focus Time going to DND?

That's a great idea - I will try this too!
Thanks for your help 🙂
