using teams on my phone and pc at the same time
- Jul 09, 2021
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: MS team log on by both mobile phone and PC notebook at sametime – Welcome to UserVoice!
I believe the main point here is that using a Teams Meetings now works, allowing me to use audio on my mobile device while viewing the screen on my computer. The issue is when I try to do the same in a Teams Chat window or Teams Call. I would like to have similar capabilities. Start a chat, make it an audio call and be able to use the audio portion on my mobile device.
Why this is important to me? I often start a chat with someone and it develops into needing to switch to audio. I have my headset connected to my mobile device so I need to use that for the audio portion. I can open the chat rather quickly, but don't want to lose the chat session on my computer. Taking the time to start a meeting and having the other participants switch is cumbersome at best.
I agree that this is a critical tool.
Webex, Zoom, etc. all easily allow the audio on an audeo-only or an audio-video meeting to be easily toggled between a mobile phone and the PC mic and speaker. It seems that Teams only offers this option (call me or call the number) once if at all. You cannot change your preference once the meet begins.
Please make this an option!
