Do not disturb setting while playing media in android app?

Server Version#: 1.42.10060
Player Version#: 2025.25.0

Is there a setting to change so that when I’m watching a video on my android phone there will be no interruptions?

Often when I’m watching and I get a text or some other app notification, it displays on the screen over the video I’m watching. This is annoying and disruptive. I would love to know a way to stop this from happening…

Thanks!

Does your android phone not have a do not disturb setting?

Mine does.

I only want DnD on when Plex is running. There are lots of games that automatically switch to Dnd mode, so I was wondering if Plex also did this…

Not to my knowledge, but you could also enable DND while you’re using the Plex app, then turn it off again afterwards. No, it won’t be automated but you might actually be able to create an action with Google Assistant.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Do you do this? I tried to set it up but there’s no option to pick my phone as a device.

No, I don’t do this myself - honestly it’s probably going to be easier for you to just manually turn on/off DND when using Plex.

Or use AI, maybe it can give some direction.
