ABSTRACT:
A system, method, apparatus, means, and computer program code for muting or disabling audible alarms or alerts during a conference or collaboration event are provided. During the conference or collaboration event, users may participate in the conference via user or client devices (e.g., computers) that are connected to or in communication with a server or collaboration system. A server, collaboration system or other device or application detects the setting of a mute alarm preference regarding one or more users. This may occur prior to a conference or during the conference. The server, collaboration system or other device then may cause the appropriate muting to occur at the appropriate or desired client devices and/or disable or mute audible alarms at one or more of the client devices (120a,120n,122a,122n).
