teams work location

Microsoft Teams work location detection is an opt-in feature that automatically updates a user's office presence when their laptop connects to a company Wi-Fi network. Powered by Microsoft Places, it uses Wi-Fi SSID/BSSID and peripheral signals to set the work location during configured working hours. The feature requires tenant configuration and has seen several rollout timeline shifts in 2025. Discussions on WindowsForum cover how this automation can improve hybrid work coordination by reducing manual status updates, but also highlight the need for careful policy setup to respect user privacy and working hours.
