callto: URI handling been intentionally removed or changed in the New Teams architecture

When clicking callto:******@domain.com links embedded in email signatures no longer initiates a call. The same links work fine on machines still running the Classic client, so the format itself doesn't appear to be the issue.

Has callto: URI handling been intentionally removed or changed in the New Teams architecture? and how to troubleshoot it.

Or I have to change as the recommended:

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/call/0/0?users=******@domain.com

    Hi @Vikram Shivar Nehala 

    In the New Microsoft Teams client, callto: URI handling is no longer reliably supported as it was in the Classic client. The new architecture prioritizes HTTPS-based Teams deep links for initiating calls and navigation. As a result, links such as callto:user(at)domain.com may not trigger calls anymore, even though they worked previously. 

    The recommended and supported approach is to use Teams deep links, such as: 

    https://teams.microsoft.com/l/call/0/0?users=user(at)domain.com
    

    You can read more at Deep links overview - Teams | Microsoft Learn 

    I hope this information is helpful.
