Mute specific channels and direct messages (DMs)in your workspace to read conversations when you want without receiving notifications for new activity. This preference allows greater control of your notifications when you want to reduce noise. Here’s how this works:
Muted channels and DMs will be greyed out at the bottom of the sidebar list and you will no longer receive notifications for any activity, including mentions.
You’ll see a numbered badge (1) in the sidebar list next to muted channels if a teammate mentions you and for any muted DMs.
In muted channels, the Threads view in the sidebar will become bolded if a teammate creates or replies to a thread from your message.
When you view muted channels or DMs, you’ll see a muted channel or direct message icon beside the channel or teammate’s name.
