Mute Channels and Direct Messages
For greater control over your notifications, you can mute specific channels or direct messages (DMs). Muting conversations allows you to read new messages when you want, without receiving notifications for new activity.
How muting works #
- Muted channels and DMs appear grayed out at the bottom of your channel list.
- Other people can’t see which channels and DMs you’ve muted.
- You’ll see a numbered badge next to conversations you’ve muted in your sidebar if you’ve been mentioned or received a DM.
- The Threads view at the top of your sidebar appears bold if someone creates or replies to a thread from any message you’ve sent in a muted conversation.
