Out of curiosity is this related to the 'emergency location' that we admins have to provide for every calling plan user or is it a wholly separate system? Reading the other comments here they must not realize that teams is already tracking their address because it has to know which PSAP to connect them to.

This location either uses the named locations I have set up in Entra (we use our public IP ranges for it) or it prompts users for their address if isn't sure. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/emergency-c...

Honestly I don't know - building location is probably using the same data though.

The emergency location is for 911 dispatch. The theory goes that in the time of wired phones, a call from 212 555 1212 was definitely from the phone on the 11th floor of 60 Hudson Street, so the correct police/fire/ambulance would be obviously in South Manhattan -- but now that we have VOIP and softphones, the phone could be anywhere -- so which 911 point-of-presence should handle it?

Hence the explicit statement.
