Issue Status: ONGOING

Issue Description: Some users may see repeated location prompts in Microsoft Teams for Mac.

More info: This issue affects macOS versions 14, 15, and 26. Impacted users are unable to dismiss the following location prompt by clicking “Allow” or “Don’t allow.”:

“Microsoft Teams Modulehost would like to use your current location”

Workaround: Impacted users may be able to resolve the issue by manually enabling location access for Teams within macOS settings. To do so, go to “System Settings” > “Privacy & Security” > “Location Services”. Locate “Microsoft Teams” and “Microsoft Teams ModuleHost” and cycle the toggles on/off, then set it back to desired setting.

Current Update: 03/06/2026 09:01:00 AM – Microsof are progressing with the validation of their fix and estimate that this should complete by their next scheduled update.

Scope of impact: This issue impacts some Microsoft Teams for Mac users who have location access enabled in Teams settings.

Root cause: A recent macOS security update doesn’t store users’ location permission selections for Teams as expected, resulting in repeated location prompts.
