I just wanted to add to this discussion that the same issue exists with Teams Devices.

I.e. PC integration work seamlessly where meetings are concerned, but it all falls apart (in terms of integration) where Audio Calls and ScreenSharing, i.e. the device is basically useless.

c'mon Microsoft, fix this please!

I am using a Yealink phone that we bought thinking "surely this will pair correctly and do the screen sharing and such as seamlessly as it 'just worked' on the other platforms we have used.

EEEEEEnnnnt.... (that is the sound of a buzzer going off to indicate the wrong answer).

Nope. Its a great phone and such, but it doesn't bind with what is going on with my desktop any better than using a cell phone. Same account but it runs as if it has no idea I am using teams on my desktop too.

    VR_user I bought a Lenovo Thinksmart view display ... not cheap I might add! My idea was to test drive one for a few weeks and then maybe roll them out to all the execs and senior managers in our business, but as it stands I can't in good conscience do this as the experience is half-baked at best!

      After the horrible experience, I put a hold on rolling these out to our staff. Its a pretty big miss. Just this morning, I have had this issue 3 times. Its a reasonable phone, but Teams is not working like one would expect from a unified telephony solution.
