MicrosoftIntroducing web capture for Microsoft Edge
vygadeka Seems to be working well for me now.
Suggestion: Any chance you'd consider doing video capture? That's what I thought "web capture" was first promoting and I was quite excited. The 3rd party Camtasia program is overkill and expensive if you just need rudimentary capture.
Microsoftamz2000 that's a useful suggestion and a sub-feature in out backlog. What do you use video captures typically for? On which websites, what use cases?
vygadeka The most typical web captures have been for things like live streams of my kids' college concerts (done on systems that are on the schools' websites) or for foreign news broadcasts where they similarly have a live stream player on their website, but no option for saving or capturing. Having asked the foreign broadcasters, it isn't that they wouldn't want things recorded. It's just that their system isn't set up to do that (and I'd imagine they don't want to pay for storage and bandwidth for downloads).
I recognize that there might be copyright concerns, but these would only be for personal viewing, re-viewing at a later date, and archiving. To be honest, while it wouldn't be optimal, even having a watermark or bug saying "not for public viewing" would be OK. I just want a record of my kid's performance or an important foreign news story.
Useful option, but one thing is missing - " Download"(next to "Copy" and "Preview"
