Specifically, Teams will detect if the user has connected to the company's own Wi-Fi and automatically set the work location accordingly to the respective building.

  1. No way it's accurate to a single room
  2. This would have to be set up by the company. There's no way to automatically detect room from a specific AP or whatever.

You are correct, but you would have to read more that the title of this post to know that. To copy what op already cited:

set the work location accordingly to the respective building.

It will only tell you in which building the person is, not in which room.

And yes, the company still has to tell teams which building has which Wi-Fi SSN. So this is completely on the company to enable and configure

Oops read it slightly wrong :!

Sure there is.

Keep a database of bssid’s and their gps coordinates.

Triangulate your location by the bssids around you and their signal strength.

You can use the netsh command in windows to see this info. You can use an app like geomac to see the location info of bssid’s from google, apple, Microsoft, and others.
