Microsoft Teams is getting a new location tracking feature that lets bosses snoop on staff – research shows it could cause workforce pushback

  Of course, if your manager requires you to turn it on, most employees will feel pressured to comply, but Microsoft stressed “it is not possible for admins to consent on users’ behalf.”

  Pretty sure an Admin could remote into my computer at any time and tick a checkbox. I find it hard to believe that anything is “not possible”

    Admins can’t just log in to your Microsoft teams account.

      No, but those are already installed and logged into on my work PC, and admins can remote into my work PC at any time. Unless it requires a separate password prompt to enable and disable, they are fully capable of toggling it.

      Also logins are managed by a company AD/SSO. They can easily reset my password and log into anything and everything.

  Too late! I’ve already deleted the app. If they want me to have it on my phone just pay for a phone for me to use and leave in my office when I go home.

    I got rid of my office phone too because its just a thing for scammers to bug me on. A phone is not useful to have or use anymore.
