Microsoft Teams Is Getting An Update You Should Know About - Sharing Your Location With Your Boss - SlashGear

"Microsoft Teams is adding a feature that could automatically share your work location with your organization when you connect to the office Wi-Fi. If an administrator enables the new feature, connecting to work's Wi-Fi will trigger Teams to automatically update your location to "In the Office" (or, if your workplace has a large campus, in a specific building). That goes for plugging into any of the company's desk hardware, as well."

"Administrators can activate location auto-detection across an entire company, or they can just limit it to certain departments. Either way, the location data lasts only through working hours, and any users who connect after those hours won't appear as in-office. Similar location tools already exist in Teams, but they're completely voluntary and have to be set manually. This new update makes it a passive, always-on thing instead. (If only the same could be said for keeping your Teams status green.)"

If administrators enable the feature, connecting to corporate Wi‑Fi or plugging into company desk hardware will automatically set Teams location to 'In the Office' or a specific building on large campuses. The update is currently in preview with a wide release expected in December 2025. Administrators can enable auto-detection company-wide or limit it to certain departments. Location status persists only during working hours, and after-hours connections do not mark users as in-office. Automatic detection is opted out by default for employees unless an organization activates it. The feature raises privacy and workplace monitoring concerns compared with manual, voluntary location settings.
