There are several ways to turn Do Not Disturb on and off: through the Alexa app, or simply by talking to your echo.

Using the Alexa App

Start by opening the Alexa app on your phone and pressing the menu button in the top left corner of the screen.

Click on «Settings».

Select an Echo device from the list.

Click the toggle switch to the right of Do Not Disturb to enable this feature.

You can also schedule Do Not Disturb to turn on and off at specific times by tapping Scheduled.

Click the toggle switch to the right of «Scheduled» and then set the time to turn Do Not Disturb on and off automatically by clicking «Edit.»

Talking to Alexa

You can also turn Do Disturb on and off by simply talking to Alexa on the Echo device you want to turn on.

Just say «Alexa, turn on do not disturb.» To turn it off, you can say «Alexa, turn Do Not Disturb off.» This will enable or disable the feature on the Echo device you are talking to.

Unfortunately, you can’t turn on Do Not Disturb for all of your Echo devices at the same time. Instead, you must turn on Do Not Disturb on each device separately on which you want it to be turned on.
