What is DND?

DND (Do Not Disturb) is a feature that blocks incoming calls or alerts, keeping users interruption-free during meetings or focus time.

Do Not Disturb (DND) is a VoIP feature that lets users temporarily silence all incoming calls and notifications. When activated, calls may be sent directly to voicemail, forwarded to another number, or receive a busy signal—depending on the system’s setup. It’s ideal for avoiding disruptions during meetings, presentations, or focused work sessions. In many VoIP platforms, DND can be scheduled or applied selectively (for example, only blocking calls from unknown numbers or outside business hours). Managers can also override DND settings for urgent situations. For businesses, DND promotes work-life balance and helps reduce distractions in high-stress environments like call centers. When used strategically, it helps maintain availability while protecting productivity and focus.
