Using "Do Not Disturb" While Streaming Video

Before streaming, it is important to make sure your Do Not Disturb settings are configured correctly so that calls, text messages, and notifications do not disrupt your viewers' experience.  Answering a call or text message while streaming may interrupt the stream, so before streaming, it is important to make sure your Do Not Disturb settings are configured correctly so your viewers' experience is not disrupted. 

For iOS USers

On iOS, the default “Do Not Disturb” mode Setting prevents your iPhone from ringing only while it is Locked and allows calls to ring on your iPhone while it is unlocked, which it will be while streaming. However, you can prevent the iPhone from ringing at all times during “Do Not Disturb” mode by navigating to your Do Not Disturb settings and adjusting the silence mode from the default “While iPhone is Locked” option to “Always”.  

For Android Users

On Android, adjust your Do Not Disturb settings so that you don’t allow any calls, don’t allow any messages, and ensure that there are no unnecessary exceptions.
