Mute a stream

Messages from muted streams do not show up in All messages or generate notifications, unless you are mentioned. Messages from muted streams do not generate alert word notifications.

Muted streams still appear in the left sidebar, but they are grayed out and sorted to the bottom of their section.

Note: Some parts of the Zulip experience may start to degrade if you receive more than a few hundred muted messages a day.
