Muting a Teams Chat

July 3, 2025

Do you ever find yourself distracted by the constant notifications from a chat in Teams?

Ding. Ding. Pop-up. Pop-up.

Since we use Teams for work or school, it might not be practical to just up and leave that Teams chat. It could send the wrong message. Or you could miss important information.

But the dinging or pop-ups are distracting you from the task you are trying to work on. What do you do? Mute the Teams chat!

How to Mute a Teams Chat

  1. Go into the chat
  2. Select the ellipsis (three horizontal dots) – “More Chat Options”
  3. Then select Mute

How to Un-Mute a Teams Chat

Follow the same steps, but this time select “Unmute”
