Teams location tracking suspiciously aligns with Microsoft’s RTO mandate

Teams location tracking suspiciously aligns with Microsoft’s RTO mandate

In October, I reported on a new and controversial feature shipping to Microsoft Teams, which automatically updates a user’s location when they connect their device to an office Wi-Fi network. At the time, Microsoft described the feature, tagged 488800 in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, as follows: “When users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they are working in.”

When users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams will soon be able to automatically update their work location to reflect the building they’re working from. This feature will be off by default. Tenant admins will decide whether to enable it and require end-users to opt-in.
