How do I remove this phone call alert from my desktop?

How do I remove this phone call alert on my Mac (Mac mini M1, macOs 15.1.1)?

Settings > Apps > Phone > Calls on Other Devices (from your phone)

Thanks. I disabled the majority of my other devices. Hopefully there won't be any more of those notifications on my Mac.

Once the message is displayed, there was no way to remove it from my desktop until I logged out and back in again.

I am also not a fan of this. I thought when it first came out it would be cool, but I hate having calls interrupt me on desktop and cut out my audio etc. I am not a fan of notification overload and everywhere. Probably one of the reasons I never got into having an Apple Watch.

Just to be clear, my problem wasn't with my Mac ringing for a call on my phone. My problem was that the call alert could never be dismissed from my Mac.

The solution, for me, was to force-quit Facetime from the Activity Monitor. That clears it out.

It's a reoccurring issue for me, though; it seems to specifically be tied to when I deny a call _on my iPhone_ - the corresponding notification on my desktop mac never goes away.

This also only happens on my Intel mac; not my Macbook Pro.
