The organization will configure a list of Wi-Fi SSIDs. When your device connects to one of those, the Teams location would be updated to “in the office”.
That’s it. No complex triangulation, no pinpoint locating. Just “are you connected to the office network or not”.
Also, if you don’t want to be tracked in this way, just don’t participate. If your organization sets a policy to opt you in automatically, click the option to opt out. If they give the offer to opt in, just don’t.
I know it’s hip to hate on Microsoft, but we should at least discuss things based on the truth, not wild assumptions and misinformation.
Never pay for AI, I don't. Maybe 30 dollars a year for tools I can't do without, but take everything for free.
Maybe you were referring to non-AI tools, though the mention of that here would be unusual, so the most likely reading of this is that you were saying something like “I don’t pay for AI, except when I do”.
I saw a TV ad where they AI generated a man sitting at a kitchen counter looking at his phone for about 5 seconds. There was absolutely nothing wild about the scene, just a person sitting there being human. Rather than pay some random real guy a small amount of money, they AI-slopped it. It was thankfully obvious that it was AI, but it just seemed so unnecessary.
That doesn’t at all match the documentation.
