Set my status and quiet hours so I’m not pinged after work
Your status tells colleagues when to expect a reply, and quiet hours mute notifications outside work time. Both are quick to set.
- Click your profile picture and set your status — Available, Busy, or Do not disturb to silence pop-ups.
- Use ’Set status message’ to add a note and an automatic clear time.
- Add priority people who can still reach you in Do not disturb via Settings → Privacy.
- On mobile, open Settings → Notifications → Quiet hours to mute pings during set times or days.
- Reset your status to Available, or let a duration you set expire.
- Remember Teams may auto-set Away when your screen locks — override it if you want to appear Available.
Still stuck after those?
You’ve done the right thing by trying. Send whedo.it a quick note — what you tried, what you saw — and a senior pair of eyes will be on it the same business day.
