Page-Level Analysis

Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation does not provide any OS-specific examples, commands, or tooling references. However, it also does not provide any code snippets or command-line instructions at allβ€”neither for Windows (e.g., PowerShell) nor for Linux (e.g., Bash/cURL). This absence means there is no explicit Windows bias, but there is a lack of parity in that Linux users are not shown how to interact with the API using common Linux tools.
Recommendations:
  • Add example API calls using cross-platform tools such as curl or HTTPie, which are available on both Linux and Windows.
  • If authentication steps require command-line interaction, provide both PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux/macOS) examples.
  • Explicitly mention that the API can be accessed from any OS and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • If referencing Azure CLI or other tools, ensure instructions are OS-agnostic or provide OS-specific notes where necessary.

Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation assumes the use of PowerShell for configuration changes to Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, without mentioning or providing alternatives for Linux or cross-platform environments. There are no examples or references to Linux tools or command-line interfaces, and the workflow is described in a way that presumes a Windows-centric administrative environment.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions or references for performing Microsoft Teams Direct Routing configuration using cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI, Microsoft Graph API, or Teams Admin Center web UI) where possible.
  • Explicitly mention whether PowerShell Core (which is cross-platform) can be used, and provide installation guidance for Linux/macOS if applicable.
  • Include examples or notes for Linux administrators, such as how to access required admin centers or perform tasks from non-Windows systems.
  • Clarify any steps that are inherently Windows-only, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.

Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation assumes the use of PowerShell for configuration changes to Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, without mentioning or providing alternatives for Linux or cross-platform users. There are no examples or guidance for performing these tasks using Linux-native tools or cross-platform methods, and the only scripting environment referenced is PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples for performing Microsoft Teams Direct Routing configuration using cross-platform PowerShell Core (pwsh), and clarify that it can be used on Linux and macOS as well.
  • If possible, include examples using Microsoft Graph API or other RESTful interfaces that can be accessed from any platform, not just PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation instructions or links.
  • Where applicable, offer bash or shell script equivalents for common administrative tasks, or clarify when tasks are only possible via PowerShell.
  • Add a section or note addressing Linux and macOS administrators, outlining any platform-specific considerations or limitations.

Page-Level Analysis

Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell parameters and patterns without providing equivalent Linux or cross-platform CLI examples. The configuration table lists PowerShell parameters alongside Teams Admin Center settings, but does not mention or provide examples for Linux-based management tools, Bash, or cross-platform scripting. There are no Linux-specific instructions or references to non-Windows tooling for any of the administrative steps.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent examples using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI, Microsoft Graph API, or Bash scripts where possible.
  • Explicitly mention whether the PowerShell commands can be run on PowerShell Core (which is cross-platform) and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS if so.
  • Include references or links to Linux-based management options for Teams Direct Routing and Azure Communications Gateway, if available.
  • Clarify in each step whether the instructions are Windows-only or cross-platform, and offer alternatives for Linux users.
  • Where administrative actions are performed in the Teams Admin Center, note that this is web-based and platform-independent.

Page-Level Analysis

Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example Windows Tools Windows First
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments, specifically PowerShell. All command-line instructions are provided exclusively for PowerShell, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives such as Azure CLI, Bash, or Cloud Shell. The steps assume the user is running PowerShell on Windows, including instructions to 'open PowerShell as admin,' and do not provide equivalent guidance for Linux or macOS users. Windows tools and patterns are referenced throughout, and there are no Linux-specific notes or parity examples.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI or Bash commands for all PowerShell instructions, especially for module installation and authentication steps.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform options such as Azure Cloud Shell, which supports both PowerShell and Bash and works on any OS.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, clarifying any differences in command syntax, prerequisites, or permissions.
  • Avoid instructions that are Windows-specific (e.g., 'open PowerShell as admin') without offering alternatives for non-Windows systems.
  • Where PowerShell modules are required, clarify their cross-platform compatibility or provide alternatives if available.
  • Consider reordering examples or providing parallel instructions so that Linux/macOS users are not an afterthought.

Page-Level Analysis

Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell commands for critical configuration steps (e.g., setting PSTN gateways for voice routes) without mentioning or providing equivalent instructions for Linux or cross-platform environments. There is no reference to Linux tools or alternative command-line interfaces, and the documentation assumes the use of Microsoft 365 Admin Center and PowerShell, both of which are traditionally Windows-centric. No Linux-specific guidance or parity is offered.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux users, such as using PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux or alternative cross-platform tools where possible.
  • Explicitly state whether the required PowerShell modules and commands are supported on PowerShell Core and how to install them on Linux/macOS.
  • Include examples or notes for running the necessary commands from non-Windows environments, including any prerequisites or differences.
  • Mention any REST APIs or CLI alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI, Microsoft Graph API) that can be used for configuration, and provide sample usage.
  • Clarify any steps that are only possible from Windows and suggest workarounds or remote management options for Linux users.
