    May I ask if there are plans to address these two issues?

    In regards to the second issue, I retried it today, and dragging works fine now. However, concerning the first crash issue, it has been present since version 116 of Edge. Is there a plan to fix this?

      I second Caleb0901's question. As an ISV and private preview program partner of Microsoft, we have exciting features based on this functionality ready for rollout, that we sadly have to disable for 20% of our user-base who use Edge due to this instability.

    Same here.

    I tried the two videos in Google Chrome both worked ok, Edge crashes on both videos. The quality of the video in Chrome i have to say, was better than Edge. MS does need to get on this.

    This is sad to see that we got no reply by MSFT on this obvious bug.
    20% of my customer base are missing out this feature rn.
  • Caleb0901 This should be fixed in the latest Edge stable release (126.0.2592.68+). If you see any other issues, please let us know.
