If your failure scenario involves a Skype for Business desktop client as the remote endpoint in a chat conversation or AV call, then you should include the logs from the desktop client in your error report.You can view the desktop client logs on your own, but we haven't documented the logging format so you probably won't find resources to make sense of them. Instead, collect the logs and submit them with your bug report.
Logs available for the Skype for Business desktop client
- Select Skype for Business Preferences. Audio/Video to select your microphone and speakers. Select Apple System Preferences Sound to set the Output and Input volumes. A subscription to make the most of your time.

There are two types of logs available from the desktop client:
- .UccApilog files contain general client usage information
- .etl files contain media-specific log information
For any bugs related to Audio/Video, please attach both log types if possible. For bugs not related to Audio/Video, the .UccApilog files should be sufficient.
Collecting logs from a Skype for Business desktop client
On a Windows machine, the logs for a Skype for business desktop client will be located in the following directory:
