Meeting Call Me Back Number
After entering a meeting, if you would like Teams to call you back you need to enter a phone number in the Call Me Back box. (See attached file.) It would be great if this box would remember the last number called and there was a user setting to save a default number. This would save you from having to enter in the number every single time.

We are happy to inform you that you are able to join meetings by choosing “Call me” from the join dropdown on iOS & Android. To use this feature, you need to provide a phone number where you can receive a phone call. If the call is accepted, your meeting audio will switch to the cellular connection. Your personal and work phone numbers, if added to your account, will be available for selection automatically.
The team is working to release this feature for Desktop. I don’t have dates to share at this time, but will keep you posted.
Thanks!

Good news that it is progressing on this matter. I agree with other comments that it will be very useful to have this feature on the desktop app and online app as well. Thanks

Glad to see a phone number can default in the phone audio field when connecting to a meeting using MS Teams from a mobile device.
HOWEVER, in support of the Work From Home movement I believe it's crucial to get this feature working for Desktop users, deeming the app is more likely used for business purpose.
With that said, is there a status update for build changes that will "Default a callback number to pre-populate in "Phone Audio - Enter Phone Number" field in MS Teams?" -

Please add this feature. It's great that I've now memorized my work phone, but it's annoying typing it 8 times a day for no good reason. After all, I assume you want Teams to be as easy to use as Webex Zoom or Skype who all can do this.

Skype had this feature, there's no reason Teams shouldn't. Especially considering many people were forced off Skype for business at work. It's been almost 8 months since this update.

Skype does this, so why not Teams?
It's something that is regularly used and would save time and eliminate misdials.Teams seems to store everything we do, whether we want it or not, so why isn't it able to remember a piece of information that we actually want it to store?

Please add this feature. It would allow us to connect to TEAMS calls so much faster! I used this feature in Skype.
Thanks! -

As a work-around, I use the AutoHotKey application to type it in each time for me. Annoying still that Teams doesn't remember it, but better than doing it manually.

My entire company (250,000+ employees) is moving to Teams from Skype and you're about to get tens of thousands of people who will complain that they cannot set their phone number as default for Call Me function, which is commonly used.
