How do your colleagues know if you are in the office or working remoteley?
Nowadays we work how and where we want – up to a point. As the pandemic hit and work moved online, everyone was scrambling to learn how to use this new generation of tools that enabled remote work.
In an office setting, we all now what to use and how to use it, although with some people in the office and others working away, it can get confusing knowing where everyone is.
Recently Microsoft Introduced a new feature called Location which sits within Work Hours and Location in the New Outlook and can be set from there or from within Microsoft Teams.
Let’s take a look at it from the New Outlook first.
Go to Settings by clicking on the cog top right of the Outlook window and then navigate to Calendar and Work hours and locations.
Here you can now set both the days, and working hours as well as whether you are working in the Office or working Remotely.
Now Lou can see little icons on her calendar showing where she is working each day.
How about in Microsoft Teams?
You can also set your work location in Microsoft Teams.
Click on your profile top right and note the Set Location icon – here you can pick from Office or Remote.
Once you set this when someone looks at your profile in Teams they will be able to see where you are working. Here Lou can see that Shelley is in the Office on the day that she looked.
What do you think of this feature? Useful? Will you be using it?
Leave a comment telling me how useful this is and how you will make use of it.
