It took me ages to realise that Teams web doesn't work in Internet Explorer 11, Safari, and Firefox.
It's not supported in those browsers.
Can you ever imagine a major IT company developing a core product that doesn't work in those browsers.
I hate Teams with a passion. And I only have to use it for video calls.
Google do use the MAC address for geolocation - you can even update their database - https://services.google.com/fb/forms/wifibugs/ and they ask for all MAC addresses in that location.
That's because it's not that accurate - my wifi router in South Wales is being shown as being located in Clydebank, Glasgow, several hundred miles away.
But it's the old chestnut - function vs privacy, this is a really useful service - my android phone automatically gets the weather and sets maps to my location. But it does impact on my privacy as well. The important thing is knowing this is happening, then you can turn geolocation off when you want to be private. Just close the door when you want.
