The network adapter preference order in Network Connection settings.From experience this is decided by two variables: Once set, the client then decides which networking adapter to use for its connection. Once discovered, the client then proceeds to set that device as the default video media device

Therefore the client first interrogates the system to see if it has a webcam available using it’s media manager service Seems only logical that the client must first discover what peripherals and hardware it has to work with. (Apologies in advance for the abundance of screenshots). First, to gather the behaviour I interrogated the local application log file and followed the log from client launch to first instant message. In an attempt to explain this process I have put together a workflow chart that lists all the key decision / request points the client makes on its journey to sign in the user which we will come to later (If you don’t want to read – scroll to the bottom). What is the actual workflow and behaviour of the client when a user attempts to login from a workstation? I wanted to add to these by looking at the process from a client perspective. There are some great deep dive articles on the internet about the Lync / Skype for Business sign in process.
