Microsoft Teams will enhance the work location setting—which you can use to let others know where you are—to include buildings, even specific ones.
In the latest entry to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, the Redmond-based tech giant says that Teams’ work location will include buildings. It will automatically update to the specific building you’re working from as soon as you connect to a peripheral or a BYOD room.
This means you won’t have to worry about manually changing the settings. It will change by itself.
Here’swhat the entry says:
With work location in Teams now including buildings, make your presence known, coordinate with others, and take advantage of AI-assisted booking in the future. Once enabled and opted-in, your work location can auto-update to a specific building when you connect to a peripheral at a bookable desk or BYOD room.
The enhancement is set to be released in December 2024. For those working remotely, this means your employer will be able to see where you are exactly. We don’t know yet if the option can be disabled/modified.
Outlook released a similar feature called Work Hours and Locationearlier this year. It can beenabled quite easily, and it’s an efficient way for employers to inform their companies of their daily work activity.
However, the entry doesn’t say if Outlook’s feature gets this enhancement.
What do you think about it?
