Conclusion

Slack can synchronize call settings across different running situations. It can also be set up to display messages differently on a par-work basis and per channel. Make sure that you do not sync options from other devices where the messages do not appear as regularly. For Focus Assist, it will be quickly enabled and disabled from its task center. You can turn it on when you need me, if you are displaying a document but make sure you turn it off. The whole point of Focus Support is to eliminate hits ie calls so that it makes sense not to deliver Slack calls when enabled.
