This tutorial will show you how to make a phone call from your phone in the Phone Link app on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC.

With the Phone Link app on your PC linked to your iPhone or Android phone, you can instantly access the Android apps installed on your mobile device right on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. Using a Wi-Fi connection, Apps allows you to browse, play, order, chat, and more — all while using your PC’s larger screen and keyboard.

You can make and receive phone calls through your linked phone via the Phone Link app on your PC.

To make and receive phone calls in the Phone Link app, it is required to have Bluetooth turned on, paired, and connected for both your PC and linked phone. Your PC is required to have a microphone and speakers/headphone to talk and hear on the phone call.

The Phone Link app displays calls you've made or received in the last 90 days.

You can't manage or delete recent calls from your PC.

Here's How:

1 Open the Phone Link app on your Windows 10/11 PC.

Struggling with calls.
Everything in the Phone Link App works fine - Messages, Photos, Apps - but not Calls.
Android phone is paired and connected to PC but I receive this seemingly contradictory error message:-

Hello @Noggin the Nog,

It seems like it may be a Bluetooth connection issue. Sometimes I have to remove the phone device on PC > Bluetooth, and pair them again to get it to work.

In addition, double check the "Link to Windows" permissions on your phone to make sure they are allowed.
