    This would be a very useful feature. I'm frequently walking about my office and out of earshot of the laptop. I take the calls on cell. Then I ultimately need to hang up and reconnect to share content during discussion.

    I want be able to initialize a call at a desktop client but using a default device (desktop phone like T58A) to start the call - so a kind of auto transfer

    I think this is the same issue we have, we take Teams calls on our phones then want to share our desktop on our laptops via the app but it shares the desktop on your phone.

    So, to understand...at this point, if i am on a Teams meeting on my iphone and I want to join via laptop once in office, i cannot, correct? i have been trying to do so today and not successful. In another system called Circuit, i am able to pull meetings from one device to another in either direction and it works seamlessly.
    Is this really not possible in Teams or am i missing something?
    Thank you.

    Thanks, really great.

    However, please solve this issue for peer-to-peer calls in one go:

    If there would be a button to "call my other devices" we could do both using PC for screen sharing and mobile phone for voice (e.g. if no mic is available) as well as changing the device as demanded in this post.

    Thanks a lot!

    I've had requests for people to use their mobile phone as the audio device when making calls from the desktop.

    This would save us having to deploy additional handset/headsets to users that have company phones.

    To be clear, the request is for a user to initiate a call on the desktop client, but have the teams client on their mobile phone actually make the call.

    Our company is pushing teams hard company wide so this feature is needed. I am national Trainer that travels and either my cell or PC is always running, to be able to have this switch between devices is a must. Please update any information available.

    Tanks Luis..

    The best would have been if it worked the same way for conversations as for meetings. When you open the mobile app, it says that you are active in a meeting and can take it over the same way, it should be with phone calls.

    Can we please get an update on this feature, this may be a deal-breaker in our cloud phone system decision.

  • ThatGuyAgain commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Supported way or maybe it's a workaround is to park the call, then pick it up from your mobile.

  • Rhett Lennox commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Definitely need this. We use the call park feature to get around it, but it's not very seamless.
