The "Quiet time" policy in Microsoft Intune enables administrators to specify times when notifications or actions are suppressed on enrolled devices. This function is especially helpful in workplaces where employees need uninterrupted time for work or personal matters, such as during meetings or unscheduled time. Administrators can ensure that users are not distracted by pointless notifications, maintaining their focus and productivity, by putting in place Quiet time policies.
The global quiet time settings offer an efficient means of establishing policies for scheduling quiet time intervals for end users. Admins can automatically muffle Microsoft Outlook email and Teams alerts by using these settings. These regulations are designed to minimize the number of alerts that end users get outside of business hours.
Date Range and Days of the week are the two types of quiet time policies offered for iOS/iPadOS and Android devices. This policy allows managers to specify defined times during which alerts are quiet or limited, allowing users to focus on their jobs without interruptions.
The ability to establish start and end periods for the quiet period is a fundamental element of the Intune Quiet Time Policy. Administrators can specify the exact hours or duration's during which alerts should be turned off. Because of this adaptability, firms may modify the policy to their own work schedules and requirements.
Implementing the Intune Quiet Time Policy can help to improve productivity by minimizing distractions, enhancing focus on important tasks, reducing interruptions during meetings or critical work hours, and overall better work-life balance for employees.
Here's how you can set up a Quiet time policy in Intune:
Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center (https://intune.microsoft.com) with your administrator account.
Navigate to "Apps" in the left-hand menu and select "Quiet time."

In the configuration settings, search for "All day, Certain hours & End user overrides"
Configure the specific Quiet time settings according to your organization's requirements. Typically, these settings allow you to define the start and end times for Quiet time, as well as the days of the week when it should be active.
Once you have configured the policy to your satisfaction, click "OK" or "Save" to save the profile.
Assign the profile to the desired user groups or devices by selecting the "Assignments" tab in the profile settings.
Review and confirm the assignment details, then click "Save" to apply the Quiet time policy to the selected devices.
Conclusion:
After the policy is applied, the enrolled devices will adhere to the specified Quiet time settings, ensuring that users are not disturbed by unwanted notifications or actions during the designated periods.
You can edit an existing quiet time policy and apply it to the targeted users. However, when you change existing policies, users won't see the changes for a 24-hour period.
