When I work, I have my Mac docked and connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I use my Sony headset in meetings for its built-in microphone and built-out ambulance sirens and other NYC distractions.
My iPhone’s phone app is connected to my Mac for better texting in Messages and if I click on a phone number on a website to call.
If I’m in a meeting using Teams or Zoom, the phone call takes priority and immediately hijacks my audio from the meeting. I would be mid-sentence, and suddenly, the food delivery guy (who has to use our annoying call-in intercom door that uses a phone number to get in the building) would be listening to me explaining the pricing of our remote management software instead of the 5 folks I was talking to. I then have to mime to everyone in the meeting to hang one while I take the phone or decline it, and then switch back manually to my headphones as a microphone and speaker choice.
This is very annoying, to say the least.
Is there any way I could give Teams and Zoom priority over phone calls so that phone calls would still go through but perhaps be muted, at least until I pick up? Maybe I can remove the iPhone from the Mac completely, at least while I’m in work focus?
