      Do Not Disturb<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        \n
      • Sometimes all you want to do is avoid all distractions and focus entirely on your game. We\u2019ve included a \u201cDo not disturb\u201d online status, which will suppress notifications and let your friends know that you\u2019re not available for another game or activity right now. To enable Do not disturb status:\n
