Joining a call from two devices no longer possible

With the arrival of the new year 2021 I am no longer able to join a private call from more devices. Group calls work fine, but on 1:1 private call it's not possible. Is it an intention or a bug?

Orbit09 Yeah I have the teams android app and the linux teams app on my PC. I can do a private call to someone from my phone and then I do not see the call on my PC. If someone calls me on teams it is not showing at all on my phone, and thus need to call them back since I use a bluetooth headset with my phone, since linux / Unbuntu is not great for bluetooth.

In either case I do not see any option to transfer the call as I do when I join a meeting with 2 devices. So yeah then your choice is just to skip screen sharing or to make a meeting just to make a call.

Seems like this new 'feature' has made Microsoft products even worse. We have used slack for many years and has been great but recently it is not supported by IT due to our new Global Protect VPN which does deep packet inspection and is now blacklisted.
