Mute conversations on Skype

I'm in a conversation and I don't really want to leave because the people there keep adding me back so it's just whatever. But I would like to mute the conversation or something like I do on Facebook so I won't take notifications or anything from there unless I press on the group and see what's going on. Because for now I have my Skype having a new notifications every half a second.

Any solutions to that?

Solution 1:

Go to the chat window of the group and type:

/alertsoff

Nothing else, just this command. This will mute the group, so you don’t get any sounds, but it will still keep the number of new messages visible.

To get the notifications back, type:

/alertson

You can also enable alerts for specific words only, your name for example:

/alertson zeto

There doesn't seem to be a command to see the currently active alerts.

See the list of available chat commands in Skype. Or type in any conversation window:

/help

These chat commands, if typed correctly, are not visible for others.

Solution 2:

If you go to Conversation > Notification settings Then you can select to never get notifications, or only get them if a special keyword is selected, for example i do so with my name, so if they mention me, i will get a notification, quite useful ;)

Solution 3:

• Right-click on the group
• Click on the Manage group menu that appears
• A popup appears. Scroll down to GROUP SETTINGS and disable Notifications

Solution 4:

Right click group, click view profile, uncheck "notify me when something new happens" close window.

Done =)

Took me forever to figure this out, hope it helps!
