New calling features coming to Teams

  • Call merging: Allowing users to have multiple 1:1 calls and join them into a group call. Roadmap ID 66054 This feature should also be available by the end of August, and will apply to VOIP and PSTN calls
This is certainly an improvement to the calling features, but there are still some features missing for a full parity between Teams and SFB.
