The new feature will help “when you want to mute notifications during your regular lunch break or have Do Not Disturb set automatically over the weekend while away from your desk”, Google said.
“We hope this feature enables you to better concentrate without Chat distractions or helps you disconnect entirely from work when needed,” it added.
The feature to schedule a DND in Google Chat will roll out in the coming weeks.
It will first be available on the web and later on mobile, the report said.
Earlier, the tech giant had rolled out custom emojis to its Chat for a personalized experience.
