MS Edge Beta can't play Netflix on Ubuntu

I am not able to play any Netflix videos on MS Edge Beta in Ubuntu. But I can play the same on other browsers - Chrome and Firefox on the same machine. This is the error I am getting on Edge.     ...

Same issue here. Same Edge version with Manjaro Linux. It seems to be a user-agent problem where Netflix doesn't recognice edge's one. 

 

I change the user-agent with "User-agent switcher" extension in Edge and problem solved.

I install "User-agent switcher" extension in Edge Beta.
Choose opera Browser and Microsoft windows.
It could work on my Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and problem solved.

    Yes, the same here.
    Installed the user-agent switcher and I pretend to be a Chrome for Linux. Netflix streamming works now.
