How can I silence unknown callers on my MacBook?

This feature is only currently working on my phone, but not on my MBP. When I get a call, even one where the Caller ID comes through as "Spam Risk" or "Telemarketer", it is being appropriately silenced on my phone, but it still rings on my other devices; it is most annoying on my laptop as it will interrupt any meeting I am in or audio that is playing. Is there a setting to correct this, or is it just a bug?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0

Make and receive calls on your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch

Set up iPhone Cellular Calls

You can use iPhone Cellular Calls with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that meets the Continuity system requirements. It works when your devices are near each other and set up as follows:

Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
Each device is signed in to FaceTime with the same Apple ID.
Each device has Wi-Fi turned on.
Each device is connected to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices.
On your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn on Calls from iPhone.
On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then choose FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings, then select Calls From iPhone.
