How do I join an Impromptu Meeting on Another device

If I join a scheduled meeting on my phone, I get a message at the top of Teams on my workstation that I am in a meeting on another device and do I wish to join on my Workstation.

 

When I am in an impromptu meeting, not a scheduled meetings, how do I join that meeting on another device with Teams installed? The message at the top of Teams stating I am in a meeting on another device and do I want to join is not present during impromptu meetings.

  • Have you tried copying the join link from under Meeting details and using it on the other device?

      VasilMichev There is no Meeting Detail or join meeting link anywhere in Teams on my phone.  I called a colleague in team from my phone, and I could not find a link to share for that call anywhere. At the same time I opened Teams on my workstation and there was no indication that I was in a meeting on Teams on my phone.

       

      If I schedule a Teams meeting in Outlook I can copy that meeting link into a Teams chat and then open the link in both my phone and workstation but if someone calls me or I call someone there is no way to add the other device to the call/meeting.

      Can you please provide phone screen shots of where this Meeting Details and join link are?

        There is a "share invite" button that appears on the screen immediately after you start the meeting... and it disappears before I can even glance at it. Definitely not the best experience, at least on Android. Looks like a bug to me, although I know TonyRedmond was able to use this on his iPhone when he first covered this feature...
