Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, primarily in the authorization step, where only Windows-centric tools (PowerShell cmdlets) are referenced for tenant configuration. These cmdlets (Set-CsTeamsAcsFederationConfiguration, Set-CsExternalAccessPolicy) are typically run in Windows environments and no Linux/macOS alternatives or guidance are provided. The rest of the documentation is cross-platform, with code samples for multiple languages and no OS-specific instructions, but the initial setup may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions or alternatives for running Microsoft Teams PowerShell cmdlets on Linux/macOS (e.g., using PowerShell Core, Azure Cloud Shell, or REST API equivalents if available).
  • Mention and link to platform-agnostic methods for tenant configuration, such as using Microsoft Graph API or Azure Portal UI where possible.
  • Clarify whether the PowerShell steps can be performed in Azure Cloud Shell (browser-based, cross-platform) and provide guidance.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users outlining any prerequisites or limitations for administrative tasks.
  • Consider reordering or parallelizing instructions so that platform-agnostic methods are presented before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
