macOS Phone app opens Chrome when trying to make a call

macOS Tahoe Phone app is opening Chrome when I try to make a call

Macos version: 26.1

When opening the phone app on Tahoe, it is properly connected to my iPhone and I can see recent callers.

However when trying to make an audio call, chrome opens up.

Before upgrading to Tahoe, Facetime was set to open Skype for audio calls. Skype is not installed on my system anymore.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.1

Launch the Phone app. In Phone menu > Settings > General tab, is Start new calls from: set to your phone number or something else (an email account, for example)? If it's set to something else, set it to your phone number.
