Julia Vyse I don't think it is possible currently. Notifcations about new calls you can mute by setting yourself as Do Not Disturb. But other notifications there is no function for.

There a couple of uservoice requests about this. Vote for them and we might see some solution for this.

If you want to cancel notifications during certain times you can use Focus Assist in Windows.

Julia Vyse what things do you need to be notified of at any time? I turn off nearly everything as Banner as I'm in the app and can review the activity feed, I only really need to respond when someone if directly @ mentioning me. might be worth trying the same ..

  thanks StevenC365 - Banner does not apply to me. I work at an agency, so along with our teams, we have chats going for different working groups. so suppressing the banner will not suppress regular chats from popping up while I'm on a call. but I should be able to do that without manually muting all the chats I'm in.
