There are times where a one to one call is just not yielding the right answers and you need to drag someone into the call to help gain a sufficient answer.
Microsoft Teams supports multi-party calling to give its official term. However, there are some limitations on its use you need to be aware of.
The rules on who you can add or cannot add are dependent on the original call type.
If the call is between yourself and someone who has dialled your phone number from another phone system, e.g their mobile, then you can drag in your coworkers to the conversation.
If the call is between yourself and a coworker, you can drag other coworkers in to the conversation and one federated contact.

If the call is between yourself and a federated contact, then you cannot drag anyone else into that call currently. You must hang up and call them back after first calling your coworkers.
