Microsoft restores Teams’ Wi‑Fi tracking after backlash and adds new controls

Last year, I reported on a controversial tracking feature in Microsoft’s video conferencing tool, Microsoft Teams. Several reports suggested that the feature would act as a kind of lapdog for your boss, automatically reporting your exact live location when connected to your company’s Wi-Fi.

However, the software giant cleared the controversy around the feature, detailing how it’s supposed to work. “The feature is designed to facilitate collaboration, not compliance or oversight,” Microsoft clarified.
