Before Recording, Enable “Do Not Disturb” on Phones and Computers

You don’t want extraneous sounds disturbing your listeners concentration, so before recording be sure to enable “Do Not Disturb” and/or turn off notifications on your phones and computers. This applies to hosts and guests alike. Put a reminder for this on your pre-show soundcheck list.

Be prepared to help guests navigate to and adjust their “Do Not Disturb” and/or notifications settings. Note that the location of these settings controls is different for various phones and computers, and the location of the settings controls sometimes change with new operating systems and apps.
