For some reason I can't call with my MacBook anymore. When im calling someone on my iPhone and I wanna transfer it to my MacBook it shows my MacBook in the list and I can select it but its not connecting for some reason. They both are on the same apple iCloud account. Some please help me resolve this problem its annoying.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.2
Here’s what I observe - and I think you’re saying you observe the same. I’m using MacOS Big Sur 11.2.1 and iOS 14.4.
I can initiate a call on my Mac (which will be executed through my iPhone). If I do this, all functions are performed on my Mac - speaking, listening, ending the call. However, I cannot hand off a call started in the iPhone to the Mac.
I had never tried this before, so I can’t speak from personal knowledge whether this was ever possible. It makes sense to me that it is not possible now (or, for that matter, ever), as there is no “Phone” application on the Mac for the iPhone to hand off to. (Instead, the Mac uses a FaceTime interface to the iPhone’s Phone app.)
So while it’s possible to hand off, say, Safari, Mail, Maps, etc., there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent handoff mechanism in this case. Seems reasonable to me.

Your original post made two very different statements:
Which issue are we talking about? Can you initiate a call from your MacBook? It’s not clear from the article linked above that the Phone app is an app that actually works with Handoff as the Mac has no Phone app (only FaceTime).
Yes i can initiate a call from my MacBook. But it’s not calling on my MacBook but trew my phone. Used to be able to listen and talk via my MacBook.
when starting a call from my iPhone i can’t transfer it to my MacBook. So both ways basically means. I can’t call with my MacBook. Only by phone. I hope this is clear enough
Check the requirements in the above linked article. For example, your Mac must have Bluetooth turned on.
I checked all requirements and I've everything enabled like it should
continuity phone call doesn't work anymore from iPhone 12 Pro to MacBook Pro
