Since upgrading to the latest Edge Chromium Dev build (75.0.131.0), if I click a link from Google Calendar to start a Google Meet meeting (Google Hangouts) it now says that the browser is not compatible. The previous build was compatible.
Is there any way to make it compatible right now, besides using Chrome?
Thanks.

SolutionThe change was apparently at Google's end. If you alter the UA string to remove the Edg/ component, Google Meet works as before:

It looks as if all that is needed is an addition to the collection of domains that work best with Chrome:

@ianwuk The user-agent spoofing code is not user-configurable (it's pushed from Microsoft's servers). There are a variety of automatic UA-spoofing extensions available for Chromium-derived browsers, but we expect that this issue will get resolved soon.

Here's how you can fix it, until MS support it officially.
1 - Install User Agent Switcher as an Edge Chromium extension from the Chrome Web Store here
2 - Edit the Google Chrome Windows user agent string to be:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/73.0.3683.86 Safari/537.36
3 - Set the option inside the User Agent Switcher extension to remember the selected user agent at start-up.
