Suppress libnotify notifications during Hangouts session

Reported by orsch...@gmail.com, Aug 10 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Let me know, please, if this is the wrong place to discuss this suggestion.

I frequently run into the problem that I am prompted with libnotify notifications (the default notification system on Linux) during a Hangouts meeting. This is especially annoying when presenting your screen. 

It can also pose a security concern if you are revealing sensitive information through that notification. 

I suggest a feature for either the browser or Hangouts to provide a setting that suppresses notifications while Hangouts is running.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
What are your thoughts? Would you be willing to consider it?

Thanks!

Assuming this as feature request, changing the status to untriage, so that the issue would be addressed.


Thank you.

This is a hangouts issue, not an extensions issue.
