Hey @jmakowet, sorry I don't have a clear solution for you. Hopefully someone else might be able to chime in. I haven't had a need for this for some time, and it seems that the way MS Teams works has changed since I set this up. If it still works, it may be an option.
Otherwise, have you tried simply connecting one via the web and one via desktop? The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it would let you join with the same account, or whether you'd need multiple. Good luck!
