Iphone calls don't ring on Mac

Hello everyone.

I have a problem. I have an iPhone 11 and before I had a macbook air 2017 and calls coming to the iPhone successfully appeared in the macbook. I sold the macbook and bought a mac mini M1. And now the calls are not ringing.

1) Yes, they are on the same network.

2) Yes, all settings are enabled on both devices according to the manual on the apple website.


When I try to forward the call from the phone to the mac, the call just stops and the Call app crashes out.

What's up?

Latest updates on both systems.

Mac mini, macOS 11.6

I found the problem in my setup. I have an M1 Mac Mini with 3 displays connected. One of these displays is connected via DisplayLink, which technically means the Mac is in "sharing mode" to make that work. There is a setting under "System Preferences > Notifications & Focus > FaceTime" at the very bottom where it says "Allow notifications." You need to turn on the checkbox that says "When mirroring or sharing the display" and this will allow your Mac to start ringing again when you receive calls on your iPhone. This must have been a change in Monterey as I didn't have this issue before the upgrade.
