it automatically sets your status to busy when in full screen, which disables sounds and notifications

What EpicTaco404 said is correct, you need to disable the setting that makes you busy in full screen
to do this, follow these instructions:

First, click “tools” at the top of the messenger window, and then click “Options…” in the menu that appears.

In the options menu, uncheck “Show me as ‘Busy’ and block my alerts when I’m running a full-screen program or presentation settings are turned on”

Then click “Apply” and your problem should be fixed.
