- With their current implementation of the Media Foundation playback videos don't show when casting but audio is fine. It doesn't cast directly either.
Speaking of media, the global media controls play/pause button doesn't update the icon. I've submitted ~feedback~ on it but who knows when they'll fix it. It probably has to do with their custom icon.- But what does it replace in Edge?
- I have no idea. I know Chromium has its own versions of a lot of things. They must have their own media pipeline too?
- The trust token API looks like a replacement for cookies... Advertisers are mentioned as a user in the WICG explainer too.
- Yeah, there is a pros and cons in here:

Hello,
you can find more info about it in here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/medfound/microsoft-media-foundation-sdk
I'm still looking for its direct impact on Edge browser and whether it makes things better or worse
