* Each team member controls their own Do Not Disturb settings

<Tip>
  Want Do Not Disturb on a schedule? Set up your [business hours](https://support.quo.com/core-concepts/administration/call-flows/business-hours) for automatic availability management.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the difference between Do Not Disturb and muting?">
    Do Not Disturb affects all your Quo numbers and sends calls to voicemail. Muting is number-specific and blocks all notifications for that number only. You can use both features together for maximum control.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do silent notifications work with system Do Not Disturb?">
    Quo's silent notifications respect your device's system Do Not Disturb settings. If your device's Do Not Disturb is on, you may not receive Quo notifications even with silent notifications enabled in the app.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can teammates see when I have Do Not Disturb enabled?">
    Your Do Not Disturb status isn't directly visible to teammates, but they may notice if shared calls aren't being answered by you. Consider setting a custom status to communicate your availability.
