Switch active call to Mobile phone
Our customer should have a function to switch an active call from the computer teams client to a mobile team client.
for example:
You answer a call at the PC/teamsclient and want to leave your desk and continue the call with your mobile phone/Teamsclient.
Normal call forwarding is not really useful in this case. It would be nice if there was something like a "Switch-Button".

you should be able to do this with the call-parking feature. park a call on desk, retrieve on mobile or elsewhere

There should be a feature that allows you transfer the call on you PC to the app on your phone seamlessly and half way into the call. Just in case you need to do something else away from your computer.

alternate app "Circuit" has this function - very convenient - can pull an active call from one client app to another (i.e. mobile to laptop) - all chat content & attachments mirror to all devices on a user's account. This is one feature that keeps me using Circuit.

This has become a necessity lately. I almost find myself fumbling between trying to disconnect the call from my device, initiate and connect it from my laptop and while doing that if you forget to turn off the mics in the devices you result in echoes for the whole team and also while switching context you drop off in between. There should be an easier way to do this. I visualize the teams meeting showing up on the laptop when the phone or the device is near and the user just clicking on it to switch the call from the device to the laptop.

I would like to add to this request. Maybe an option like "Pull Call". If all devices are signed in with the same username, all chats and meeting are already visible, therefore, a "Pull Call" would simply all the mobile device to takeover the call and terminate it on the PC. This versus, join the call on your mobile and have it active on your PC at the same time!

This feature works so well in Circuit application and it gives you flexibility to move around during the meeting seamlessly. Would love to see the same in Teams please.

Why is it that not possible to pull active calls from Teams between devices? This seems a rudimentary functionality. Other apps do this, even the in house developed one my company uses. Come on Microsoft!! I will tell Satya Nadella the same, we multitask today on phones, tablets and PC's. Who does not get this? I start a call in the car on mobile, arrive at the office and transition to my PC. Who does not do this in the modern business enterprise?

Being locked indoors and working from home right now, this would be mighty useful to help me balance my dozen daily meetings where for some i can move from my desk to my mobile device to roam about the house/garden, interact with family and get basic things done while still listening in to a call.

While this is possible, if CALL PARK is turned on, it would be nice to have a HOT SWITCH.
On my 8x8 VOIP system, I dial *88, from another device and my existing call is immediately transferred to that device.

Similarly,The opposite direction as well. I receive a call while mobile and return to my desk and want to switch to my desktop client (especially to share/view-shared screen).

Also useful if you start the call on your mobile app and them the caller starts sharing content - a formal meeting allows split clients (i.e. you can attend on multiple devices), but not a direct call.
