"Also: Is spyware hiding on your phone? The telltale signs to find out Updated on Tuesday, a Microsoft 365 Roadmap highlights a new feature for Teams designed to display your work location via Wi-Fi. When you connect to your employer's Wi-Fi network, Teams will update your location to display the building where you're working. Aimed at both Windows and Mac computers, this feature is scheduled to start rolling out in February 2026."
"Microsoft didn't reveal who would be able to see your location. Presumably, anyone who uses Teams at your company may know where you are and whether or not you're currently at work or connected to Wi-Fi. Neither did the roadmap explain how this might play out for someone who connects to the company network while working from home or another remote location."
Microsoft Teams will display a user's work building when the user connects to the employer's Wi‑Fi, updating location on Windows and Mac. The feature is scheduled to roll out in February 2026. The setting will be off by default and can be enabled by administrators. Visibility details remain unclear, including who at the company will be able to see locations and how connections from home or remote networks are treated. The feature can aid scheduling and coordination but raises surveillance and privacy concerns if managers monitor employees' presence or enforce in-office requirements.
