Why can't I join a meeting on iPhone without giving Teams access to scan my local network?
EWoodrick according to Apple:
"any app that wants to interact with devices on your [local] network must ask for permission the first time it tries to browse your local network.
...
If you don’t want to allow access, or if it’s not clear to you why the app needs access, you can tap Don’t Allow. The app can still use the internet ..."
Now I don't know about you, but I can't see any need for Teams to know what other devices are on my local network (home or corporate networks) and denying that ability should not prevent you from connecting to a meeting.
- This is a new problem that I just noticed today on my iPhone!
It is very very strange that in order to join a call on teams I need to give access to Local Network! This was not the case earlier!From my point of view, it's not caused by the Teams itself, but rather the used user account.
I use two business accounts. One without permission network access does not make a call, while the other does.Is this topics still alive? Is a contact possible for sharing details?

Jirkajiripinkava this is definitely not the case. I have a new iphone I just got a couple months ago, and an old one. both have teams, both are the same version, both are signed in with the same account. the old one does not require this permission to join meetings, the new one does.
