Microsoft Teams to Auto-Update Office Location on Wi‑Fi, Rollout Now Planned for February 2026

The capability is disabled by default under tenant control with optional user opt‑in.

Overview

  • Microsoft’s roadmap describes a Teams feature that updates a user’s work location to the specific office building when their device connects to the organization’s Wi‑Fi.
  • The rollout is scheduled to begin on Windows and Mac in February 2026 after earlier targets shifted from December 2025 to January 2026.
  • Microsoft says the feature will be off by default, with tenant administrators deciding whether to enable it and whether end users must opt in.
  • Asked for further details, Microsoft directed reporters to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap and said it had nothing else to share.
  • Coverage highlights privacy concerns and potential use for monitoring on‑site attendance or RTO compliance, even as Microsoft frames the setting as administrator‑controlled and opt‑in.
