How to Silence Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Teamflect Notifications Outside Business Hours
Since Teamflect notifications are delivered through Microsoft Teams and Outlook, silencing Teams and Outlook notifications will also silence Teamflect notifications.
This article walks you through how to mute notifications outside business hours on both platforms.
Silencing Microsoft Teams Notifications Outside Business Hours
Set Quiet Hours / Quiet Days (Recommended)
Open Microsoft Teams
Click your profile picture (top right)
Go to Settings
Select Notifications
Scroll to Quiet hours
Set:
Start time (e.g., 18:00)
End time (e.g., 09:00)
Optionally, configure Quiet days (e.g., weekends)
During quiet hours and days:
No Teams pop-ups or sounds
Teamflect notifications will also be muted
Please note that the Teams notification settings can only be adjusted through the mobile phone Teams Application. You may not be able to find these quiet hour settings through the Teams in your PC.
Silencing Outlook Notifications Outside Business Hours
Option 1: Schedule Quiet Hours (Windows Focus Assist)
For Windows users:
Open Settings → General→ Notifications → Windows Focus Assist
Choose Priority only or Alarms only
Click Automatic rules
Schedule quiet hours (e.g., evenings and weekends)
This silences:
Outlook email notifications
Calendar reminders
Teamflect email notifications
Option 2: Outlook In-App Notification Settings
Open Outlook
Go to Settings
Select Notifications
Turn off:
Desktop alerts
Sound notifications
Keep emails flowing without interruptions
Option 3: Email Rules for Teamflect Notifications (Optional)
If you want to manage Teamflect emails separately:
In Outlook, go to Rules
Create a rule for Teamflect sender emails
Move them to a specific folder or mark as read
Review them during business hours
Mobile Devices: Important Reminder
If you use Teams or Outlook on your phone:
Enable Quiet Hours inside the mobile apps
Or use your phone’s Do Not Disturb mode
This ensures Teamflect notifications don’t reach you outside work hours on mobile either.
If you need help configuring notification settings for your organization, feel free to reach out to your Teamflect administrator.
