Custom Link to a call with a certain Person in Teams
You have a couple of these that you can use. You want to use callto: that will open Teams and Teams will ask if you want to call that person.
callto: to call someone
tel: for phone numbers
im: for chat
Could be that you have to register these urls to Teams.

Thanks again 🙂
So there is no way to start a VOIP call by just clicking a link? Using Circuit I was able to use 'circuit::' followed by a link to the mail address of the person. (But we do not really want to include circuit there hehe) Is there no equivalent to this in Teams?
The problem using 'tel:' is that if someone did not choose Teams as standard app, they will be asked which app they want to use and Teams was not even listed as an option for me. This is at least what I got when I just tested it. I feel like this probably would cause problems for some visitors.

- Hi Linus,
For me does not work callto: to external users. Telephony licence I have and calls working through Teams fine. However when I use callto: to an external it schows me "something went wrong by search for the person you are calling". External users also have Teams licence. Can you please give a advice what is missing here?
Many thanks in advance. - When you use the callto: it actually opens a Call in Teams with the person intending to be called? Every time I try this it will open an empty meeting with no one else in attendance.
JoDee35 What is the full URL that you use for a person to click and make a Teams call to a specific person. I get close with the following URL, but it doesn't quite work https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/callto:daisy.macdonald@killeenisd.org
