Analyzes Microsoft Teams surveillance capabilities and their implications on user privacy

Original Description

#surveillance #teams #microsoft Your boss doesn't need to install spyware on your laptop. They already paid for it. It came bundled inside the Microsoft 365 license your company has been running for years — and there's a very real chance no one has ever told you it's switched on. Picture a Tuesday. You've had what feels like a solid morning. A few emails knocked out. A couple of Teams calls. A few things moved forward. You close the laptop at 5:15, and you feel good about it. Meanwhile, somewhere else in that same organization — maybe your line manager, maybe HR, maybe someone in IT — they open a dashboard. One dashboard. And on that dashboard is a clean, detailed breakdown of your entire working day. How many Teams messages you sent. Which meetings you attended, and for exactly how long. Whether your camera was on. Whether you were an active participant — or just a warm body sitting in the waiting room. How many files you edited in SharePoint. Whether you've been collaborative — or going dark for two-hour stretches. They didn't submit a special IT request for that report. They didn't need to. They just opened a tab and clicked. This is not hypothetical. This is Microsoft 365. And most of what I'm going to walk you through today comes completely as standard — with the license your company has already paid for. 💼 ABOUT ME: Hi, I am Sirat a Cybersecurity specialist.
