abadideaMicrosoft Teams wants permission to DIAL EMERGENCY SERVICES? I hate customer meetings too but that is not a healthy coping mechanism
(people are telling me that this is because Teams can integrate with voip, and being able to connect you to the right emergency service becomes a legal requirement if that’s enabled. I personally would never dial a phone number again if I could, let alone through Teams)
David Cohen@0xabad1dea In order to report your house fire, you’ll need to sign in with your Microsoft Account 😛
Jason Petersen (he)@0xabad1dea this is android, right?
@jason no (as hinted in the alt text)
Chris Siebenmann@0xabad1dea They moved all our office VOIP phones to Teams a year or so ago and now I'm wondering why I was never asked this myself. Perhaps they already had all the VOIP phone locations on file.
(Your VOIP phone's call history shows up in Teams and I think so does voicemail. You can probably tell how often I use my office phone...)
@cks yes I believe that voip desk phones have to be programmed with a location for this reason. This popup is on a tablet with an operating system that enforces asking permission to use the current-location API that taps into gps; presumably voip desk phones don’t have that.
DamonHD@cks @0xabad1dea I think that I haven't used 'an office phone' by some reasonable definition for >15Y!
