4 years ago Hmm, if you’re seeing notifications from Time Machine, it’s very likely that DND is not enabled. Have you disabled the feature in Zoom that automatically turns on DND when screensharing starts? If not, that’s conflicting with Muzzle.

She occasionally sees popups from Time Machine, such as when a backup could not complete or when verification fails. The screens look something like this:

If the popup notifications cannot be suppressed easily, it might be acceptable to simply disable the entire Time Machine system for the duration of the screen recording.
Even if a backup was started before screen sharing begins, disabling the "Back Up Automatically" checkbox in Time Machine preferences seems to also stop the backup, which is probably the desired behavior, since if that backup was allowed to resume, the popup may appear (outside of the notification system) if/when the backup fails or fails to validate.
It seems like as long as Time Machine "Back Up Automatically" was disabled at the same time Do Not Disturb was enabled, and then "Back Up Automatically" was restored to its original state when Do Not Disturb was disabled again, things would just work.
As a work around, the user can manually disable Time Machine automatic backups, but if use forgets to restart the system, they may find themselves in a situation later on where they could lose data and no recent backup would be available.
