How to Turn Off Teams Notifications During Meetings
How to Turn Off Teams Notifications During Meetings (and Avoid Awkward Pop-Ups While Sharing Your Screen) Introduction: We've all been there—you’re sharing your screen in a Microsoft Teams meeting, and a chat notification pops up from a coworker, your manager, or even worse… your group chat. While Microsoft Teams doesn’t automatically suppress all notifications during meetings or screen sharing, you can take control of what appears and when. In this post, I’ll show you a few easy ways to keep notifications silent and off-screen while you're presenting, focusing, or just trying to stay distraction-free. Do Notifications Automatically Mute During Screen Sharing? Short answer: No. By default, Teams will still show toast (pop-up) notifications during meetings and even while you’re sharing your screen. That includes messages, reactions, and call alerts—unless you proactively change your settings. Option 1: Turn on Focus Assist (Windows Only) If you're on Windows, Focus Assist can automatically suppress notifications system-wide—including Teams. How to Use It: Click the notification icon in the bottom-right of your taskbar. Click Focus Assist until it shows "Alarms only" or "Priority only." OR go to Settings > System > Focus Assist to set rules like: Turn on automatically when duplicating your display During specific hours When using an app in full screen Note: Users can set up a rule to enable Focus Assist during meetings automatically from your calendar. Option 2: Use Teams’ Built-In Do Not Disturb Mode Click your profile picture in Teams. Set your status to Do Not Disturb. While DND is on, Teams suppresses all toast notifications. Want to still get alerts from your boss or a specific team? Go to Settings > Privacy > Manage priority access Add individuals whose messages will bypass DND Option 3: Mute Notifications Per Meeting (Temporary) If you just want to mute notifications for a short time: Go to Settings > Notifications Scroll to Meetings and Calls Set “Mute notifications during meetings and calls” to On ⚠️ This doesn’t always prevent all pop-ups, so DND is more reliable for screen sharing. Option 4: Close the Chat Window When Sharing If you’re only worried about chat pop-ups, consider: Closing the Chat pane before sharing your screen Sharing a specific window, not your entire desktop That way, even if a notification comes in, it won’t be shown to everyone watching. Quick Checklist Before You Present: Task Why It Helps Set Teams to "Do Not Disturb" Blocks all notifications Turn on Focus Assist (Windows) Mutes all pop-ups Share specific window, not full screen Limits what viewers see Close Chat pane in Teams Avoids preview messages showing up Mute notifications in Settings Extra layer of safety Conclusion Whether you’re leading a webinar, pitching a client, or just trying to focus in a meeting, managing Teams notifications is a small tweak that saves a lot of headaches (and awkward moments). Set up your preferences once—and thank yourself later.How to Switch Between Multiple Organizations in Microsoft Teams
Introduction: If you collaborate with multiple companies, clients, or nonprofits, you’ve likely been invited to more than one Microsoft Teams organization (aka “tenant”). While Teams is a powerful tool for collaboration, switching between orgs isn’t always intuitive—and can slow you down if you’re not set up properly. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how to manage and switch between multiple organizations in Microsoft Teams smoothly—on both desktop and mobile. What Is an "Organization" in Teams? Each Microsoft 365 account is tied to a single organization (or tenant). When you're added to another org’s Teams environment, you're technically a guest there. Teams allows you to toggle between these orgs, but the interface isn’t always user-friendly, and you can easily miss notifications or messages if you're not careful. How to Switch Organizations on Teams Desktop App Open Microsoft Teams (desktop or web). In the top-right corner, click on your profile picture. Under your name, you’ll see a list of all the organizations you’re a member of. Click the name of the org you want to switch to. Teams will reload in that environment. Note: Each time you switch, Teams refreshes—so it can take a few seconds. switched organization shown below Switching Orgs on the Teams Mobile App Tap your profile picture in the top-left corner. Under your name, tap the dropdown arrow to view other organizations. Select the org you want to access. Note: On mobile, switching is usually faster than on desktop, and it’s a good backup when you cannot access your computer. Other Tips for Managing Multiple Orgs ✅ Use the Web App in Parallel Open teams.microsoft.com in a browser for one org while using the desktop app for another. This is especially helpful if you're constantly jumping back and forth. 🔔 Don't Miss Notifications Teams doesn’t show notifications from orgs you’re not actively in. Use the Activity Feed in each org to catch up when you switch. On mobile, you can enable notifications for all orgs (Settings > Notifications > Accounts). 💼 Keep Track of Which Org You're In Customize your Teams theme for each org to help visually differentiate them. Add org initials or emojis in team names (if you’re an admin) to make switching less confusing. 🧹 Leave Orgs You No Longer Use If you’re no longer collaborating with a tenant, go to myaccount.microsoft.com/organizations and remove your access. 🧠 Bonus: Using Multiple Desktops or Profiles If you’re more advanced, consider: Creating browser profiles (Chrome/Edge) for each org. Running Teams in multiple desktop user accounts or Microsoft Edge side-by-side mode. Wrapping Up Switching orgs in Teams is a necessary evil for consultants, volunteers, and cross-org collaborators. With the right habits—like using browser tabs, enabling notifications, and customizing views—you can stay productive without missing a beat.📢New in Microsoft Teams: Introducing Storyline – A Fresh Way to Share Updates & Stay Connected
