Welcome, in front of me is a Google Pixel tab and today I will show you how you can
0:04
enable and also set up your Do Not Disturb mode. So to get started, simply pull down your toggles by swiping down from the top of your screen
0:18
and look for the Do Not Disturb toggle. For me it is on the second page right over here
0:25
Now once you see your toggle, if you're doing this the first time around, hold this toggle
0:29
and this will take you to this settings. And here you can customize how it will function
0:33
So I'm going to go over the couple more important options and skip the less important ones
0:39
So we have People, which will allow you to select who can message you or call you. You can just choose each one of those for both
0:47
And here we have Messages, so we have Stared Contacts, which are basically favorite contacts
0:53
Contacts are priority conversations, anyone or none. We have a little bit more options than I'm typically used to, but the general gist of
1:02
it is you have, for instance, Favorite Contacts, you can add Favorite Contacts
1:07
And then if it's selected, it will include the favorite contacts to this exclusion
1:13
You have Contacts, which basically includes all the contacts that you have in your contacts list
1:19
Then here we have some priorities, so again you have to add them
1:22
Anyone defeats the purpose of this. And then no one. And same goes for the Calls, we have the same options
1:28
So here we might have, there we go, toggle like this one, so Allow Repeated Callers
1:33
So if someone calls you twice within a 15 minute period, they will be bypassing anything
1:38
that I have selected right here. Now going back, we have also Applications
1:43
You can select exclusions for apps themselves. We have Alarms and Other Interruptions
1:48
And below that we have the Schedule, so you can set it up and it will automatically turn off and on the Do Not Disturb mode based on your provided parameters
1:57
So as an example, there is a sleeping one that is pre-made by default and it runs from
2:01
Sunday to, no, it runs all week. So this is an all week long, starts at 10 p.m., ends at 7 a.m
2:11
And if you want to use the sleeping schedule or make your own, once you do so, just make
2:17
sure that it is toggled on in here and the device will be turning it on and off from
2:23
now on as long as this is enabled based on your provided start and end time, obviously
2:28
and the day of the week. And going back, we have also one last thing that I'm going to touch upon, which is the
2:35
Duration for Quick Settings. This will be a godsend for everyone who is enabling Do Not Disturb mode just on random occasions
2:44
So I would actually recommend going in here and changing it on a timer and instead of
2:48
selecting it one hour, maybe make it something like four hours as an example
2:54
And the reason I recommend setting this up is because when you go and toggle it on like
3:00
this, by default, it will be running indefinitely till you turn it off again
3:06
Now, if you usually enable this just on random occasions when you need it, you probably also
3:12
won't necessarily keep it in mind that you need to turn it off once you're done needing it
3:18
Therefore, it will be running indefinitely in the background. And this option here will make it so even when you forget about it, four hours later
3:26
and the way it's set for me, will automatically turn off. So I can forget about it and the device will remember for me
3:34
So it's a pretty nice option to have enabled. And that's really the only thing that I would change right here
3:41
So let's close this. And whenever you want to use your mode, find the toggle
3:45
And as you've seen before, you just tap on it to turn it on. Once you're done, you can tap on it again to turn it off
3:50
But if you have the timer, it also tells you on there till what time it will be running though
3:55
So as you can see for me, it is until Tuesday, 1253 AM
4:00
There we go. Now with that being said, hopefully you found this video helpful
