Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation shows some Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell are prioritized in several places: the Azure CLI installation link defaults to Windows, environment variable instructions list Windows first, and .NET/PowerShell are highlighted as management SDKs. While Linux and macOS instructions are present, Windows tools and patterns are often mentioned first or more prominently.
Recommendations:
- Provide equal prominence to Linux and macOS instructions by rotating or randomizing the order of OS tabs, or by listing Linux/macOS first in some sections.
- When linking to installation instructions (e.g., Azure CLI), use a cross-platform link or provide links for all major OSes.
- Include more examples using Bash or other common Linux shells, not just PowerShell or Windows command prompt.
- Mention cross-platform SDKs and tools (like Azure CLI and REST APIs) before platform-specific ones (like .NET or PowerShell).
- Ensure that screenshots and sample file paths are not Windows-specific unless necessary.
- Where possible, provide parity in troubleshooting tips and notes for Linux/macOS users.

## Store your connection string
Communication Services SDKs use connection strings to authorize requests made to Communication Services. You have several options for storing your connection string:
* An application running on the desktop or on a device can store the connection string in an **app.config** or **web.config** file. Add the connection string to the **AppSettings** section in these files.
* An application running in an Azure App Service can store the connection string in the [App Service application settings](../../app-service/configure-common.md). Add the connection string to the **Connection Strings** section of the Application Settings tab within the portal.
* You can store your connection string in [Azure Key Vault](../../data-factory/store-credentials-in-key-vault.md). You can further securely [manage your connection string](../../storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage.md).
* If you're running your application locally, you may want to store your connection string in an environment variable.
### Store your connection string in an environment variable
To configure an environment variable, open a console window and select your operating system from the following tabs. Replace `<yourconnectionstring>` with your actual connection string.
#### [Windows](#tab/windows)
Open a console window and enter the following command:
