Facebook messenger notifications - how to turn it off

Keeping in touch with family and friends on Facebook is fun, sending and receiving messages, pictures, GIF's and videos to each other is interesting too. But what if  you are in a very important meeting with everyone in your company, everywhere is silent and all of a sudden, you hear a sound on your phone indicating that you have a Facebook message from one of your friends, or you are having a very important discussion with your parents or boss in the office and your phone keeps making that Facebook message notification sound. Humiliating, isn't it? You just wish the ground would open up and swallow you up because you know you are being viewed as unserious.
