Mute conversations on Skype

I'm in a conversation and I don't really want to leave because the people there keep adding me back so it's just whatever. But I would like to mute the conversation or something like I do on Facebook so I won't take notifications or anything from there unless I press on the group and see what's going on. Because for now I have my Skype having a new notifications every half a second.
Any solutions to that?

You can disable all sounds from skype from the mixer in the sound icon through the taskbar.

Yeah I know that. You can do that from Skype's settings as well, but I would like to not receive the notifications from that certain group. I guess it's not possible..

Go to the chat window of the group and type:
/alertsoff
Nothing else, just this command. This will mute the group, so you don’t get any sounds, but it will still keep the number of new messages visible.
To get the notifications back, type:
/alertson
You can also enable alerts for specific words only, your name for example:
/alertson zeto
There doesn't seem to be a command to see the currently active alerts.
See the list of available chat commands in Skype. Or type in any conversation window:
/help
These chat commands, if typed correctly, are not visible for others.

I disabled notifications for one conversation via phone UI and it disabled even the "you have new message" icon modification on my desktop systray icon. I fear I might have no way to mute only one conversation on one device.

If you go to Conversation > Notification settings
Then you can select to never get notifications, or only get them if a special keyword is selected, for example i do so with my name, so if they mention me, i will get a notification, quite useful ;)
