Great, more surveillance in the workplace. Bet management loves this one.

probably already tracking your bathroom breaks, this is just the next step.

privacy concerns? lol microsoft wouldn't do that to us would they 😏

Ben Sullivan2026-06-17T06:30:08.000Z

Can we just have a chat app that works? Why does it need to know my location?

Jack Morrison2026-06-17T06:36:08.000Z

FFS another update nobody asked for. Who actually uses Teams voluntarily?

Kai Thompson2026-06-17T06:49:08.000Z

I work in IT, this shit is just gonna make our jobs harder managing permissions. Cheers Microsoft.

work tried to force Teams on us, now we just have two buggy apps instead of one.

Honestly if you're using Teams for anything private ur already cooked. It's Microsoft.

Kai Thompson2026-06-17T07:36:08.000Z

if you care about privacy don't use any of their products lol

Grace Patel2026-06-17T07:10:08.000Z

the real question is will it crash less? that's the only 'improvement' i want

Jack Morrison2026-06-17T07:25:08.000Z

It'll crash more, guaranteed. That's the Microsoft way.

Reese Morgan2026-06-17T07:18:08.000Z

Yeah nah, it's not about privacy it's about control. Typical corpo move.
