Do Not Disturb

The Zulip desktop app offers a Do Not Disturb (DND) mode. Turning on Do Not Disturb mode disables desktop notifications across all the organizations you have added to the Zulip desktop app. This can be convenient for avoiding interruptions during a meeting, or when you need time to focus on your work.

Other types of notifications will not be affected, including mobile notifications, email notifications, and desktop notifications in the Zulip web app.
