Teams' quiet hours feature (available only on the mobile app) allows you to set the hours and days you don't want to be notified, and Teams will hold off on pinging your phone until you're back on the clock. For example, if you work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., you could turn on quiet hours from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. so evening messages wait until morning.

Turn on quiet hours and quiet days

1. Open the Teams app on your phone and tap the navigation menu in the top left corner.
2. Tap Notifications.

3. Under Block notifications, find During quiet hours.

4. You'll see two options: Certain hours and All day. Tap into either one to turn it on.

1. For certain hours, set the start and end times you don't want to be notified — for example, 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.

2. For All day, choose specific days of the week — like Saturday and Sunday — when you'd rather not be notified at all.

Once set, Teams will automatically hold notifications during the hours and days you've chosen — messages will still be waiting for you in the app, but your phone will stay quiet. You can adjust or turn off these settings anytime from the same Notifications screen.
