Teams will show me in my home office as usual. The icon already turns yellow if there has been no keyboard or mouse action in the last 5 minutes. This new feature must be in response to the scripts or applets used to simulate “busyness”.

For much of the last 25 years, I worked from my home office. My static IP address is reported as my router WAN address. That address is registered to my company and customer sites using a white list of acceptable inbound connections. The Teams snitch is a nothing burger. If I'm off my home LAN, I can't connect to the company or customer sites because the originating IP address would not be on the white list.
I retired in June this year, so all of that nonsense is no longer an issue. I haven't set foot in a company building since Sept 2017 on the last trip to San Diego. The company maintained a VPN for access to company resources. That bypassed the originating IP address issue that granted access to a select few servers. The VPN bandwidth was massively increased during COVID and working from home became the normal mode for work that wasn't explicitly in a DoD "closed" area. There was adequate security in authentication, authorization and end-to-end encrypted sessions.

Lol! Ingenious. Why haven’t I thought of that before?

If your boss doesn’t know your whereabouts when you’re on the job, then he shouldn’t be your boss.

Ha.
Reminds me of the shore scene from the movie On the Beach, where they discover the nature of the repeating transmission.
