4. Go to the section called "Block notifications" and select the option During quiet times

5. You will now have the option to set up Quiet time on:

  • Certain hours: this option allows you to set up the times you do not want to receive notifications, with or without exceptions
  • All days: this option allows you to choose specific days to keep notifications off, with or without exceptions
  • Set on Teams and Outlook: this option enables Quiet time on Teams and Outlook

As an example, by unlocking the option “Certain hours”, you will be able to:
