Not quite the same, but I have a work laptop, personal laptop, and my phone all connected to my bluetooth headset. Basically, when any of them make a sound, I hear it, though there is some precedence.

So, I'll hear (for example) notification sounds from both laptops and phone if I'm not listening to something (like music) at the time. If I'm listening to music on one laptop, and a call comes in on my phone, the music will pause and I can answer the call.

It's not perfect - I'm actually connected to bluetooth to the personal laptop and phone, and via usb to my work laptop. This is partly because the headset only connects to 2 devices over bluetooth, but also because the headset does not fully support Microsoft Teams meetings over bluetooth as bluetooth will disconnect after a couple minutes of a meeting. All my Teams meetings are on my work laptop, so I use usb and that keeps the connection stable.

Phone seems to always take precedence. So a call coming in will always interrupt whatever else I'm listening to. After that, the usb connection is next, and then the bluetooth connection to my personal laptop is last. So when sound is coming from more than one device at the same time, I will hear from the device with highest precedence. I'm not 100% sure on this, as it's rare that I hear stuff from more than one device at a time.

Zoom meetings seem to be no problem - I've done multi hour zoom meetings on my personal laptop using bluetooth only without issue.

The headset is the Sennheiser PXC-550, and is one of the best purchases I've made for my home office.
