To be fair, this is barely a feature. If you are on WIFI anyone that really cares knows where you are already

Before Teams when Evilcorp was using Skype for business the app would update our location within the building.

This feel like 1 office shooting away from a huge settlement....
There’s a web client. I’ll use that from now on if I have to. Should I use any particular browser that prevents access to WiFi details?
I wonder if the web client can be bookmarked to my desktop with the Teams icon.
firefox or a fork of it, but I would be surprised if teams could read wifi info even in chrome. this is about when you install it as a desktop app, so that it can collect more data and consume more memory than it would otherwise.

Productivity boosters and surveillance go hand in hand.
Linux Mint is very easy to use.
I had the unfortunate requirement to use Teams for about 3 months. I seriously cannot comprehend how a business exec has the audacity to approve it to be used as a company's chat, specially with Slack being the other obvious option, as well as the few open source and self hosted ones. I really wish Teams was nuked. The worst experience I have ever had with a software.
