Microsoft Teams: Automatically set work location by connecting to a Wi-Fi network

Microsoft Teams: Automatically set work location by connecting to a Wi-Fi network

Microsoft Teams will soon automatically set users’ work location when they connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, starting late June 2025. This feature applies to Teams for Windows and Mac desktops and aims to improve user experience by automating location updates. Configuration is recommended for optimal use. Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: When users connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi, Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they are working in. This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop and Teams for Mac desktop. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 488800. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025. How this will affect your organization: Currently, users have to manually set their work location in Teams. After this feature rolls out, Teams can automatically update users’ work location when their laptop connects to their organization’s Wi-Fi network or peripherals. The feature can leverage the mapping between your building names and your Wi-Fi networks to set the work location of your users to the right building. It can also leverage mappings to specific peripherals, such as monitors. Teams uses the same policy to enable or disable automatic updates of work location for Wi-Fi and peripherals. Learn more: New-CsTeamsWorkLocationDetectionPolicy (MicrosoftTeamsPowerShell) | Microsoft Learn Teams will not update the location of your users if they connect after their working hours (that they can configure in the Microsoft Outlook Calendar). Also, their work location will be cleared at the end of their working hours. What you need to do to prepare: Automatic update of work location is off by default, but it can greatly improve the experience of your users. We recommend turning it on and configuring it in your tenant. Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation. Message ID: MC1081568
