Out of the office, on vacation, or just looking for a break from RandomCoffee? Snooze your participation: until the date you choose, you are left out of new sessions in all the programs of your workspace, so you receive no invitations and no matches. You can snooze for up to 4 weeks.

## Snooze from an email

<Steps>

1. **Click "Snooze" at the bottom of an opt-in email.**

   The opt-in email is the invitation to join a session. When you have access to the Member Portal, you also find a "Snooze" link on the page that opens after you accept or decline a session.

   <OptInEmail template="default" crop="footer" mark="snooze" alt="End of a RandomCoffee opt-in email: the footer with the &quot;Unsubscribe&quot; and &quot;Snooze&quot; links, &quot;Snooze&quot; circled" />

2. **Choose the end date of your break.**

   On the "Snooze your participation" page, under "Snooze my participation for:", pick the date of your next availability in the calendar, up to 4 weeks ahead. Shortcuts let you choose 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks in one click.

   <SnoozePage alt="The &quot;Snooze your participation&quot; page, with the &quot;Snooze my participation for:&quot; date field and the &quot;Save my choice&quot; button" />

3. **Click "Save my choice".**

</Steps>

## Snooze from your Member Portal

<Steps>

1. **Open your Member Portal.**

   Sign in at [app.random-coffee.com/login](https://app.random-coffee.com/login).

2. **Open "Availabilities".**

   Click "Availabilities" in the menu on the left.

3. **Click "Snooze".**

   You find this button in the "Snooze your participation" section.

   <MemberWeeklyAvailability view="dates" highlight="snooze" alt="The &quot;Availabilities&quot; page scrolled down to the &quot;Matching availability&quot; hours and the &quot;Date-specific hours&quot; section, with the &quot;Snooze your participation&quot; section and its &quot;Snooze&quot; button framed" />

4. **Choose the end date of your break, then click "Snooze".**

   In "Snooze your participation until", pick a date up to 4 weeks ahead, or use the 1 to 4 week shortcuts.

</Steps>

## Snooze in Microsoft Teams

If your company uses RandomCoffee in Microsoft Teams, you can also snooze from your chat with the RandomCoffee bot.

<Steps>

1. **Open your chat with the RandomCoffee bot.**

2. **Select "Snooze".**

   In the message box, the bot suggests three commands: "Help", "Feedback" and "Snooze". Select "Snooze".

   <TeamsBotCommands highlight="snooze" alt="The commands suggested by the RandomCoffee bot in Microsoft Teams: &quot;Help&quot;, &quot;Feedback&quot; and &quot;Snooze&quot;, with &quot;Snooze&quot; selected" />

3. **Choose a duration, then click "Snooze".**

   The bot replies with a list of durations: 7, 14, 21 or 28 days.

   <TeamsSnooze alt="The snooze durations offered by the RandomCoffee bot in Microsoft Teams: 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days, then the &quot;Snooze&quot; button" />

</Steps>

## Stop your snooze early

Back sooner than planned? You can end your break at any time.

- **From your Member Portal**: in "Availabilities", the "Snooze your participation" section shows the date until which you are snoozed. Click "Stop Snooze", then confirm with "Stop snooze". You are included again in the next sessions.
- **From the snooze page**: click "Snooze" in an opt-in email again, then click "Unsnooze".
