What you can do to prepare:

If you use boss delegation in your tenant, you can review the permissions for delegates. Join active calls is OFF by default for delegates, delegators do not need permission to join active calls on their line. 

Please ensure that your Teams phone devices are updated with the latest application from Teams Admin Centre to get access to the feature.
