Outlook’s Desktop Alerts, enabled by default, notify you when you receive a new email message. While these alerts can keep you up-to-date with what’s going on in your inbox, they can be pretty distracting.
If you are sharing your desktop, giving a presentation, or recording a video, the desktop notifications may interrupt your process.
You can turn off Outlook notifications through the app's general settings if your notifications become distracting or disruptive. Microsoft Outlook can generate desktop notifications whenever you. In Outlook, navigate to your calendar and double check your meeting. In the Reminder combo box, select None, as shown in the screenshot below. If you would like to modify a recurring meeting, hit the Recurrence button and adjust the reminder value. Once done, hit Save and Close. Click File Options, in the Outlook Options window, click Mail in the left pane, uncheck the Display a Desktop Alert box in the Message arrival section, and then click the OK button.
