Why can't I join a meeting on iPhone without giving Teams access to scan my local network?
I tried to join a meeting today after updating my iPhone and now Teams won't let me join any meetings unless I give it access to scan my local network. This is a gross breach of security... is T...
Are you believing that Teams needs access to your network and your web browser doesn't? I hate to tell you that the web browser already has access.
I'm not really sure what you think that the issue is.
This is an issue because there is no reason for Teams to have access to devices on my local network. It already has access to my camera and to my microphone, and it can connect to the internet, but I'm not giving it access to my thermostat, or my door lock, or any other device on my local network.
And no, my web browser doesn't have uncontrolled access to my local network either. Every webpage has to ask for access (microphone, location, ...) before it can get it.

- I don’t think under GDPR they are allowed to access local network without permission. I tried to stop mine from accessing but it stopped me from receiving invites or to use it without allowing access to local network. They already have access to what they need for it to function so why collect more data?
