Title: Microsoft Teams Will Start Tracking Office Attendance
Link: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/10/24/223621...
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Tom's Guide: Microsoft Teams is
about to deal a heavy blow to those who like to work from home for peace and
quiet. In a new feature update rolling out December 2025, the platform will
track a worker's location using the office Wi-Fi, to see whether you're
actually there or not. From a boss' perspective, this would eliminate any of
that confusion as to where your team actually is. But for those people who
have found their own sanctuary of peaceful productivity by working from home,
consider this a warning that Teams is about to tattle on you. According to
the Microsoft 365 roadmap: "When users connect to their organization's Wi-Fi,
Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they
are working in." The location of that worker will apparently update
automatically upon connecting. It's set to launch on Windows and macOS, with
rollout starting at the end of this year. "This feature will be off by
default," notes Microsoft. But "tenant admins will decide whether to enable
it and require end-users to opt-in."
