Set the amount of time the do not disturb toggle is on

When I start a call or a meeting, I would like to turn off notifications for 1 or 2 hours. When I use the do not disturb toggle in the notification centre it turns notification back on at midnight. How can I rather say "Do not disturb for 1 hour" or another set time.


This way, if I have a 1 or 2 hour meeting, I dont miss notifications after the meeting.

Thanks for the answer, but isn't this scheduling? This is not really what Im looking for.

My meetings are not always at the same time so I can't say "everyday turn off notifications from 10 to 11."

Im looking for a way to set a temporary do not disturb for an hour or two. I want to adjust the amount of time the do not disturb toggle in the notification centre is set for. This is something that Android does really well, and its super helpful for turning off notifications for meetings.
