using teams on my phone and pc at the same time
VR_user Hello all! I know it doesn't answer your immediate needs but it would be great if as many of you could vote on this Uservoice item as possible: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/42528358-ms-team-log-on-by-both-mobile-phone-and-pc-noteboo
I do have app on phone, but I from my PC will join the meeting and when it asks for audio, I choose to call a number and put my cell phone in. This way I have the audio through my cell and still have full functionality of PC mercxi
koltregaskes-work I have this exact same issue. Joining a meeting is easy ....just have it call my cellphone and boom, shared screen appears on PC but call is through phone. But if someone calls me, it doesn't work. The app rings on my PC and phone and if I accept on the phone, I'm stuck viewing a spreadsheet on the tiny screen. MS Teams on PC has zero knowledge that I'm on the phone or that someone is sharing...why isn't there a space to click where you automatically see what your doing on the phone app? So frustrating. Also, that you can only view 4 people's cameras at a time.
foxyengineer @koltregaskes-work same issue here. One workaround I've found useful on android to make calling in-network work phones a bit easier is the use of the 'Nine' app, which saves company contacts to my phone line search.
I definitely think that having PC screenshare (no audio) + cell phone (audio) to use for a 1:1 or group chat is a key missing feature in teams
I have found that the only way to do this is to start a meeting, which you can do from the chat window after the chat is started. Outside of that you are left with making a standard phone call and using teams to share screen. A little inconvenient but not monumental. It would be nicer to be able to have the audio and screen sharing split between pc and phone without starting a meeting.
