Removing G Chat Notifications From Your Right Monitor

Google Chat notifications can be a double-edged sword – they can be incredibly helpful in an office setting, but the constant pings can also be a source of distraction.

You can either mute notifications for a specific conversation or set your status to Do Not Disturb. Alternatively, you can navigate to your Google Chat or Gmail settings and customise your notification preferences, including muting specific contacts or conversations.
