But it's likely I already agreed to the strings when I agreed to my company's demand that we use Teams.

Bingo. The licenses were agreed to when the product was purchased, not when you click "yes, ok, show me the tutorial"

I mean it sucks and I don't use these tools either despite them being forced into my work machine, but if you're getting psychic damage every morning bc the pop up you could just click through it and ignore the shit tools from there. That's all I'm saying, your sanity is worth clicking a few buttons.

That's my thinking but I suspect it probably does this anyway.

This is incorrect, the license agreement is accepted upon purchase and provisioning to users. You, as a user, clicking through the onboarding tutorial is not the license agreement.

ITT people seem to assume that but no one has yet offered any amount of proof. I hope my company isn't relying on everyone clicking "Maybe later" to prevent spying on professional messaging. That would be a huge lawsuit vector for Microsoft if that were the case. And if your company is cool with MS spying on messages, MS is going to spy on messages no matter what you click, and they were already doing it before any click.

It's a work computer and your it team and legal department has already approved usage of these tools. Sure, you do whatever you think is right but your company has already agreed to that license. You are already bound by it through your employment and usage of employer provided tools
