Caller notification on Windows 10 lock screen
This is similar to other posts about notifications, but I didn't see this specific scenario. We have people who are working in their office either alone or with other people, but aren't using their computer. The computer is locked. When a call comes in from Teams, they want to see who is calling displayed on the lock screen to determine if they need to answer.

This is a no-brainer. Especially considering the new Official Teams Licensed headsets with a dedicated button to answer and end calls. Please implement it!

Also for me, Calls I receive while the screen is locked will not be written into the call history, so I don't even know whom to call back.

MSFT is pushing the TEAMS Phone.
It seems like an issue to pick up calls when the computers when its locked. It would be nice to have a caller notification and able to pick up the call on the lock screen. -

This is especially needed for users that have screens that are locked most of the time. Oh and answering from the lock screen would be an added bonus!

Add the option to answer a call from the lock screen so the caller doesn't give up before you can get your computer unlocked.

Seeing who is calling to determine if it makes sense to interrupt a conversation or another activity is just such a basic concept, and many corporations have policies in place to lock the PC screen after a certain period of inactivity. Most people are very accustomed to seeing who is calling on their mobile device lock screen and being able to answer the call without having to unlock. So it works well on non-Microsoft mobile devices but not on Windows devices. To me this reinforces some people's impressions that Windows is an old outdated OS and it is time to switch to Apple or Google.

I would also find value in this feature.
