Full Screen Video Issues

When playing video in full screen on any website like Youtube, Twitch or elsewhere the video starts flickering and having serious issues as soon as any playback controls or other overlays are visible...

Hello,
Which Edge insider channel and version are you using?

    HotCakeX 

    Dev channel version 78.0.268.3

    But I am having this problem months now.

    Full screen video in other browsers like Firefox works fine btw.

      oh for months..

      can you try turning off hardware acceleration in Edge insider settings? see if it helps

       

       

      by the way, are you using updated Windows 10? (i.e 1903)

       

      sometimes I have the same problem on Edge insider Canary and Google chrome Canary.

        Yes I keep all my software updated (including the drivers).
        Turning off hardware acceleration actually fixes the error. But this is just a workaround...
        How can we identify the source of the problem? I am using an RTX 2070 btw.
