View other people's work location
Understanding the location where other people are working from can be essential for effective collaboration. You can view the location of other people in your organization in Teams when viewing their profile information.
Note: By setting up work location, users enable anyone in the organization to view this information.
Note: Microsoft Places location services in Teams is available as part of the public preview program and might undergo further changes before being released publicly. To get access to this and other upcoming features, switch to Teams public preview.

View who's nearby from the chat window
While having a conversation in the one-on-one chat chat window, Teams will present a Nearby indication on the top of the chat window if they are nearby you. This information only appears when both sender and receiver are in the same office building at that time.
