This innovative feature, scheduled for general availability in early September 2025, represents a major advancement in workplace technology integration, eliminating the need for manual location updates while providing organizations with improved visibility into employee presence and workspace utilization. This development represents Microsoft’s continued commitment to intelligent workplace solutions, offering organizations powerful tools for modern hybrid work management while maintaining user privacy and administrative control through robust policy frameworks. Additionally, the feature extends beyond Wi-Fi detection to include peripheral device mapping, such as monitors and other workplace equipment, providing multiple touchpoints for accurate location identification. Furthermore, the feature automatically clears work location data at the end of designated working hours, maintaining privacy boundaries and accurate presence information. The feature eliminates the administrative burden of manual location management while providing enhanced accuracy for location-based services and compliance reporting. Organizations must configure these mappings through the New-CsTeamsWorkLocationDetectionPolicy PowerShell cmdlet, which serves as the primary administrative interface for managing automatic location detection settings. The CsTeamsWorkLocationDetectionPolicy provides granular control over feature activation, allowing organizations to customize deployment based on specific departmental or security requirements. Microsoft Teams will automatically set employees' work locations based on their connection to the organization's Wi-Fi network, starting September 2025.
