Question

Is Active Call Transfer (move a call between devices) planned for the Android/iOS Calling SDKs for Teams users?

The Web Calling SDK supports Active Call Transfer for Teams users: callAgent.feature(Features.ActiveCallTransfer) with getActiveCallDetails() and activeCallTransfer(call, { isTransfer: true, joinCallOptions }), so a Teams user can move a call they're in on another device (e.g. the Teams desktop client) onto the current device.

I can't find an equivalent in the Android or iOS Calling SDKs (checked Android 2.16.0 through 3.0.0 / 2.17.0-beta.1 and iOS 2.18.4 through 3.0.0 / 2.19.0-beta.1, using TeamsCallAgent). On native there's no way to:

Discover the Teams user's active calls on their other endpoints (call id, meeting locator).
Join one of those calls and remove the user's other endpoint (isTransfer: true).
Get the current device's own endpoint id.

Questions

Is Active Call Transfer planned for the Android and iOS Calling SDKs? If so, is there a rough timeline?
Until then, is there a supported way for a native app to discover a Teams user's call on another device and move it to the phone?

Hi @Christian Gan

Thank you for reaching us regarding the issue.

Active Call Transfer is currently supported only in the Azure Communication Services Web (JavaScript) Calling SDK and is not available in the Android or iOS Calling SDKs.

Microsoft documents the Active Call Transfer feature exclusively for the JavaScript SDK:

This guide covers the ActiveCallTransfer feature (available on both CallAgent and TeamsCallAgent), including:

getActiveCallDetails() activeCallTransfer(..., { isTransfer: true/false, joinCallOptions })

All samples and API descriptions are for the Web SDK only. There is no equivalent documentation or API for the native Android or iOS Calling SDKs.

Platform Capability Matrices

The official capability tables do not list Active Call Transfer (or any equivalent multi-device discovery + transfer capability) for Android or iOS:

Answers to Your Questions

Is Active Call Transfer planned for the Android and iOS Calling SDKs? If so, is there a rough timeline? Microsoft’s public documentation does not indicate that Active Call Transfer is planned for the native Android or iOS Calling SDKs, and no timeline is provided.

Until then, is there a supported way for a native app to discover a Teams user’s call on another device and move it to the phone? No. The Android and iOS Calling SDKs (including when using TeamsCallAgent) do not provide APIs to:

Discover active calls or meetings on a Teams user’s other endpoints

Join a call while removing the user’s presence from the other endpoint (isTransfer: true behavior)

Retrieve the current device’s endpoint ID for this purpose
