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.

So if I'm reading this right, won't a VPN totally fuck with the system? Cause its a nessessity for some to get into local networking.

    No, because this isn't looking at networking, it's looking at wifi access points

    So if I'm using something lime Cisco secure client this bypasses the default security? I'm still missing something here.

    Yes. Teams is software that runs on your computer. Based on what's described here, it's now going to ask the wifi driver what access points are available

    Then it will send that info through the VPN along with the voice and video

    How does that work when I remote into a Windows Virtual Desktop in Azure and use that for teams? This is probably 80% of my teams use.

    Or use a Linux device? Will it tell teams my networking information?

    It theoretically could through the azure remote desktop client since Windows owns every part of that stack and has no concept of not stealing all data. It probably doesn't because it would involve coordination between several teams

    It could work on Linux, but probably doesn't because the Linux version of software tends to have more autonomy and better priorities
