Microsoft Teams: Workplace check-in via Wi-Fi allows easy coordination in the office
Microsoft Teams will gain the ability to automatically detect and update user work location based on Wi-Fi connection, with controls for both admins (opt-in to enable) and end-users (opt-in/opt-out to share). This extends existing check-in functionality for office coordination.
Key dates
- 2024 — rollout (Rolling out globally to Standard Multi-Tenant, Desktop and Mac clients)
Microsoft's description
Workplace Check-in via Wi-Fi acts as an extension of existing capabilities to check in to a building or a reserved desk, providing more flexibility and ease of use to help coordinate with co-workers. When users connect to their organization's Wi-Fi, Teams will soon be able to update their work location to reflect the building they're working from. This feature will be off by default. Tenant admins will decide whether to enable it or not and end-users always have the choice to opt-in or opt-out of sharing this information.
