What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, with source markup removed
Updated June 3, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: When users connect to their organization's Wi-Fi, Teams can automatically check them in to a building or a reserved desk. This makes it easier for users to coordinate work with their coworkers and connect in person. This feature is off by default in every tenant and requires tenant admins you to take action to turn it on and configure it. After you turn it on, end-users remain in control and can choose whether to share their work location with their coworkers. This message applies to Teams for Windows and Teams for macOS. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 488800. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early June 2026 (previously early May) and expect to complete by late June 2026 (previously late May). How this will affect your organization: This feature allows you to map Wi-Fi access points (BSSIDs) networks and devices to buildings, which allows your users to have their work location automatically updated when they connect. This is a major improvement over the current experience which relies on end-users to manually set their work location. When this feature is configured and enabled, Teams can automatically update the work location of users who connect their laptop to your organization's Wi-Fi network or peripherals. The feature can leverages 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 (which they can configure in their Microsoft Teams or Outlook Calendar). Also, their work location will be cleared at the end of their working hours. What you need to do to prepare: Wi-Fi check-in 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.
