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.

HotCakeX hey thanks for the reply, but that doesnt appear in the flags for me...

- HotCakeXSep 03, 2019MVPOh looks like it's removed now from the Dev, temporarily.
which version of Edge did you first notice it on?- matb86Sep 03, 2019Brass Contributor
HotCakeX I'm on 78.0.249.1 (Official build) Dev, only noticed the media controls for the first time last night....and I guess can't disable it lol
- HotCakeXSep 03, 2019MVPI'm sure the flag will be added in the next major Dev update. the updates usually flow from Canary to Dev to Beta 🙂
