A simple Microsoft 365 Roadmap update will now generate a raft of unhappy headlines. The idea is simple. “When users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they are working in.”

Forget the locational anonymity of a Teams virtual background. Teams will update your location when connected to your company’s WiFi. On video, you may have your usual background complete with company logo. But your boss will know you’re not in work.

    Good luck with that. I work from home, use the unofficial Linux client for Teams and my status is always offline. 😆

    I despise this software so much. The boss seems to be at least a bit open to ditching it, but I haven’t fully convinced him yet. 🥹
