Sounds useful? Weird to imply the purpose of this is to expose people not in the office. The people who care about that already know.

Good luck with that. I work from home, use the unofficial Linux client for Teams and my status is always offline. 😆
I despise this software so much. The boss seems to be at least a bit open to ditching it, but I haven't fully convinced him yet. 🥹
Teams once again continuing to undermine it's own existence by using even more stupid tricks to force people into the office.
If you want me in the office then don't force me to use tools that would allow me to do my job from anywhere.
I'm sure if you really wanted to, you could still somehow spoof your location.
Jokes on you Teams, my boss doesn't care
Labor should organize and tell management if they don't get their heads out of their asses they might lose them.
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?
Good.
Anyone who gets in bed with a company that uses these products deserves all the shit coming their way.
