But Edge, in any of its versions, is not free from failure. And it is what happens with YouTube and all those who make use of a version of Edge, either the global version or one of the three that can be downloaded from the test program. A bug that prevents watching videos on the popular video streaming platform.

In this sense, the company requests the help of users, who notify them if the failure occurs when the extension is deactivated, or even without the installed extension. To report errors, comments must be accessed by pressing the keys. Shift + Alt + I or by accessing the options menu by clicking on the ellipsis and then on the route “Help and Comments> Send Comments”.
