- Microsoft Teams is introducing a feature to track employees' location via Wi-Fi connection.
- The feature will automatically update a worker's location status when they connect or disconnect from office Wi-Fi.
- This update is set to launch in December and will be off by default, but tenant admins can enable it.
- The feature raises privacy concerns, especially as return-to-office mandates increase.
- Similar tracking policies at other companies, like Amazon, have faced employee resistance.
- Microsoft Teams is also rolling out other features like saving chat messages and customizable keyboard shortcuts.
