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.

    Then why was your question suggesting Carol isn’t getting any information she can’t get by looking around the office? You literally work in a group that your rhetorical question doesn’t even work in? It’s almost like you were being intentionally obtuse?

      If that’s your remaining objection then sure.

      When I make that comment I was thinking of a single office.

        Maybe that’s office wouldn’t even use teams, or maybe Carol in that office wouldn’t be helped.
