    If you don't see it on Dev or Canary, it might be because it's disabled by default.

    go to here: edge://flags/

    and search for Global Media Controls flag and then enable it. after that restart your browser and go to YouTube or another website that has video, hit the play button and you will see Global Media Controls button appear next to your profile picture at top-right of the browser.

        Oh looks like it's removed now from the Dev, temporarily.
        which version of Edge did you first notice it on?
