Microsoft has confirmed plans to launch its Teams app for Android Auto in February 2024, nearly a year after it was announced.

Why in the ever loving fuck would anyone want Teams in their car?!
I even don't know a single person who wants it on their computer.
If you use it for work, now you can count your commute as part of the work day.
That actually seems like a win win minus all the extra car accidents. A small price to pay for productivity
Employers will surely agree
Should be counted as it anyway.
Had a chat with a friend a while ago. She only has a 15-30 minute commute. Assuming the best, that’s still 2 hours and 30 minutes a week. That’s ten hours unpaid time a month.
If your company uses Teams in place of a traditional phone system (which is becoming more common) then being able to answer phone calls from that system in the car easily is definitely an advantage.
Why? Most people's commute is unpaid, plus one of the dangers of talking on the phone while driving is not necessarily tapping at the screen, but the conversation.
So now we have more people working unpaid and driving distracted.
I'm not talking about during a commute. I'm talking about driving from site to site during the work day.
Yes, but as they pointed out talking on the phone while driving is a distraction that increases the likelihood of an accident.
Mainly to catch a pointless meeting while I leave work instead of staying at work for the pointless meeting.
Id rather be driving home saying nothing than sitting at a desk saying nothing.
