Several jobs require you to check in with your boss, but Microsoft Teams new update will allow your boss to know your exact location while on the clock.
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. The update is currently only in preview, with a wide release expected in December 2025.
Ostensibly, the feature could help colleagues know who’s working where so they can meet up with each other without having to ping. That said, the feature definitely raises some questions about employee privacy and workplace monitoring.
