    On what device? I have Nearby Devices and Location disallowed on Android, and it still works fine.

    Side note. Teams is the worst. Just, period.

        Interesting. I wonder if that’s an iOS requirement that Teams is forced into. Somehow, I doubt it.

          Oh no, it absolutely isn’t. It’s actually a feature apple implemented to stop apps from scanning and interfacing with the devices on your local network without your approval and Teams has zero explanation on why it needs that permission nor why the calls can’t be made without it while every single other app is able to do so without that permission.
          The only other apps that require it are device specific apps (printer, local smart home stuff, FTP, DLNA, etc) and network scanners.
          Is it possible that Android doesn’t have that permission and therefore Teams is able to scan the network regardless? You could test it out with an SSH or network scanner app for example

            That’s a good question. I’m not sure. Well, guess I’m firing up the Wireshark.
