- Microsoft Teams is launching Workplace Check-in in June 2026 to detect employee office presence via company Wi-Fi connections.
- Managers can monitor attendance without precise location tracking; tenant admins enable it, and employees can opt-out.
- The feature is disabled by default, allowing user choice to share location, but raises privacy concerns amid return-to-office trends.
- Microsoft has delayed the feature multiple times and addresses data protection concerns with user control safeguards.
