Hi guys, I have to use Teams for a call and I’m not tech savvy at all. I don’t want them to see where i’m located and want to change the country to France.
What’s the best VPN for Teams on iPhone and/or for Macbook ? (I’ll use either or)
Thanks a lot!
If you are trying to hide where you are located, use something simple and straightforward like Nord VPN. Install it on all your devices and your location will be mostly hidden.
Keep in mind that you may set off alerts if your location is somewhere other than your home location, wherever that may be. All M365 sign-in’s are logged and goes beyond Teams, it’s anything in the M365 environment. If you’re supposed to be signing in from one country, but then your sign-ins are from another different country, that could get flagged and the sign in may actually be blocked.
Our company has a list of countries you cannot sign in from unless approved to do so before hand.
Isn’t Teams a cloud product that you can use as long as you have an internetconnection?
What would you do with the VPN? I’m intrigued.
Are there legitimate reasons to be doing this? Purposely hiding one’s location from the company calling them sounds like a scammer.
Teams and VPN are not related. You can Google “free vpn” and pick about any option.
Hide your location from who? Microsoft, of the other person on the teams call? Or is this a company teams account and you do t want them to known you are abroad.
VPNs are not good for real time audio video. I do not recommend that.
Express vpn works fine with teams.
Check out this article going over vpns and some recommendations…
IMicrosoft doesn’t recommend using a VPN with Teams because it can lower the quality of the audio / video.
I get why you want to conceal your location.
Is it possible to ‘dial in’ with your cell phone - assuming you have brought it with you.
Otherwise, the VPNs suggested - NordVPN and ExpressVPN are good options.
Never … ever… use a free VPN. The business model for free VPNs are to collect information about you and sell it.
Good luck.
Admin here. The second you open the app the location is recorded in 365 Admin and Entra. Spoofing location may throw out “risky” logins and activity, and depending on company config, auto-block your account.
Can I choose the country tho ?
Yes, this. If your company has a decent IT management and cyber security team, they’ll know where you are logged in from. I’ve even seen MSFT even blocking sign-ins from well known VPN IP address, it sometimes marks it a “high-risk” sign in and sends out an alert.
It’s not a company I work for tho…I just don’t want them to think I live there when i’m on vacation
I don’t want them to see where i’m at lol
No i’m just on vacation and don’t want them to think I live there…why are you assuming the worse SMH
Will it hide my location with a free VPN ? Can I choose the country?
From the company calling me
Mhm how can I hide my location then?
