Rants & rAVes — Episode 1471: Microsoft Teams Now Allows You To Be Tracked, Almost Anywhere. Here’s Why That Matters

It’s meant to make hybrid work smoother, but it also opens the door to new questions about privacy and workplace tracking.
I’ll break down what this feature actually does, what it doesn’t, and why anyone using Teams should care. Watch and let me know your take.
