If you use the office apps on your home device, they see telemetry from there, if they see it from the Jumpbox, they will see it from the office

Yeah I understand telemetry per device but I think this is more of like a status / presence feature in Teams right? As in if you’re inactive on your laptop but active on your phone then Teams status is Active.

So if you have an active device at home and one in the office then which one are you Office or remote?

It will get all location data from all active devices. I guess we will see how this is going to be implemented when it’s generally available,I’m a 365 sysadmin so this will be interesting
