When can we expect Edge video and audio features to be pored to the new Edge?
I was wondering when some of the nice audio and video features of Edge will be ported to the new Chromium Edge. For example features such as Dolby digital, audio & video selection, HTTP Live Streaming, webcam access, etc

For DD enable try-supported-channel-layouts in edge://flags . Everything else is now available. Check Settings - Site Permissions. Read https://www.howtogeek.com/352787/how-to-set-per-app-sound-outputs-in-windows-10/.
sambul95 I made the suggest FLAG change and according to http://html5test.com/ this has not made any difference to the audio and video playback options detected. Comparison showing differences is attached.

When you ask for features on a forum like this you need to be very specific. Your request is very broad and non-specific. I suspect there will be a long way until Edge team would implement all these codecs support in Chromium, if ever. The flag itself doesn't mean the feature is available, it may be a remnant for now.
On the other hand, why don't you do the real life tests rather than fingerprinting through websites? Don't forget to adjust System Settings though. Did you try to use a webcam, and was unable to - on what site? Did you try to stream something and can't view it in Edge Chromium? No? Then why asking without trying first? Yes - can you give a link?
sambul95 Can someone give me a basic explanation of the difference between FLAGS and SETTINGS. FLAGS looks be be an messy, unstructured way to mess about with a browsers functionality so I'm wondering why you would use that approach rather than the usual SETTINGS menu.
