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.
I’ll be interested to see how this works: my “office” is on my home network. We use ZTNA for most internal services. My company already knows where I’m at when I’m using internal services; I guess with this new feature they’ll know if I’m on guest wifi somewhere instead of at home?
