Microsoft Edge是这家软件巨头在放弃Internet Explorer后推出的最新网络浏览器。自从这款浏览器问世以来，没有多少人选择使用它而不是竞争对手，而且这种情况不会很快改变。现在，由于Edge已经存在了几年，人们会认为只有少数错误，但不幸的是，情况并非如此。在最近的Windows 10(Windows 10)更新之后的最新错误都是关于YouTube的，流行的视频流平台有时无法很好地与Edge配合使用。
修复(Fix)Edge中的视频流问题
此外，我们应该记住，当前形式的Microsoft Edge (Chromium)已经存在了大约一年，因此，用户应该期待一些错误。旧版本的网络浏览器已经死了，所以成熟度在这个时候不再是一个因素。
Microsoft Edge无法播放YouTube视频
如果YouTube视频无法在(YouTube)Windows 10的(Windows 10)Edge浏览器中加载或播放，您可能需要检查Flash设置、禁用 GPU(Disable GPU)、清除(Clear)缓存、将Edge(Reset Edge)标志重置为默认值等。一些用户可能会遇到黑屏；视频无法加载，视频中没有声音等等。那么，最大的问题是，这些问题能否得到解决？对此，我们说，是的。
有时，Microsoft Edge可能会在流式传输在线视频时遇到问题，但这可以通过简单地按照我们的指示来解决。
- 检查是否启用了 Flash
- 清除缓存
- 重置边缘标志
- 禁用硬件加速。
1]检查Flash是否启用
也许您尝试播放的视频是由Adobe Flash提供支持的，这是一个处于最后阶段的平台。如果是这样，那么我们应该指出一些非常重要的事情。在新的Edge网络浏览器中，Flash默认被阻止，因此需要启用它。
要启用Flash，请单击位于浏览器右上角的三点菜单按钮。请从下拉菜单中选择Settings，然后向下滚动到Site Permissions。寻找Adobe Flash，单击该选项，然后切换按钮将其打开。
重新加载(Reload)网页并检查视频是否正常工作。如果没有，那么，继续阅读。
注意(NOTE)：Adobe Flash现在已被弃用。
2]清除缓存
好的，所以我们可以采取的下一步解决Edge中的视频播放问题，就是清除缓存。事实上，这个浏览器的很多问题都可以通过执行这个动作来解决。
为了清除缓存，请按照上述步骤打开设置(Settings)区域。从那里，从左侧的类别中选择隐私(Privacy)和服务(Services)，然后向下滚动到清除浏览数据(Browsing Data)。在它下面，您应该会看到“这包括历史记录、密码、cookie 等。只会删除此配置文件中的数据。”
单击选择要清除(Choose What to Clear)的内容，然后从弹出窗口中选择缓存图像和文件(Cached Images and Files)，最后单击立即清除。等待(Wait)Edge完成它的工作，重新启动 Web 浏览器并尝试再次加载视频。
3]重置边缘标志
事情是这样的，YouTube无法在(YouTube)Edge中正常工作的问题可能与edge:flags相关联。现在，要正确设置，请在 Edge 的地址栏中键入edge:flags ，然后按键盘上的Enter 。
只需单击全部重置为默认值(Reset all to default)即可将此部分恢复为其原始设置。我们要求只有高级用户在必要时对edge:flags部分进行更改。
4]禁用硬件加速
好的，所以如果您的GPU出现问题，您将无法观看视频，特别是如果您的浏览器设置为使用GPU 加速(GPU acceleration)进行渲染。默认情况下，Edge使用GPU加速，但这可以更改为软件。
再次，导航回Microsoft Edge的(Microsoft Edge)设置(Settings)区域，但这一次，您需要从左侧的类别部分单击系统。(System)选择系统(System)后，您现在应该会看到三个选项，但我们将重点关注在可用时使用硬件加速(Use hardware acceleration when available)。单击切换按钮将其关闭。
如果该选项不起作用，那么我们如何从Internet(Internet) 选项(Options)中关闭硬件加速。走这条路线将删除所有 Web 浏览器的此功能，而不仅仅是Microsoft Edge，因此请记住这一点。
按Windows Key + S，然后搜索Internet 选项(Internet Options)并在启动后单击。应该会弹出一个新窗口，其中包含几个选项，只需选择Advanced选项卡，然后选择Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering*。
点击Apply，然后OK，最后，重新启动计算机以确保一切生效。
让我们知道这是否对您有所帮助。

Microsoft Edge won't play YouTube videos; Fix video streaming problems
Microsoft Edge is the newest web browser from the software giant after it abandoned Internet Explorer. Ever since this browser came on the scene, not many have chosen to use it over rivals, and that won’t change any time soon. Now, since Edge has been around for a few years, one would expect there to be only a handful of bugs, but such is not the case, unfortunately. The latest bug after the recent Windows 10 update is all about YouTube where the popular video streaming platform just fails to play well with Edge at times.
Fix video streaming problems in Edge
Additionally, we should keep in mind that Microsoft Edge (Chromium) in its current form has been around for about a year now, therefore, users should expect some bugs. The older version of the web browser is dead and gone, so maturity is no longer a factor at this time.
Microsoft Edge won’t play YouTube videos
If YouTube videos are not loading or playing in the Edge browser on Windows 10, you may need to check Flash settings, Disable GPU, Clear the cache, Reset Edge flags to default, etc. Some users might suffer from a black screen; videos fail to load, no sound in videos, and much more. The big question is, then, can these issues be fixed? To that, we say, yes.
From time to time, Microsoft Edge may have problems streaming online videos, but this can be solved by simply following our lead to the letter.
- Check if Flash is enabled
- Clear the cache
- Reset Edge Flags
- Disable hardware acceleration.
1] Check if Flash is enabled
Maybe the videos you’re trying to play are powered by Adobe Flash, a platform that is on its last legs. If that is the case, then we should point out something very important. In the new Edge web browser, Flash is blocked by default, therefore, one needs to enable it.
To enable Flash, click on the three-dotted menu button located at the top-right corner of the browser. From the dropdown menu, please select Settings, then scroll down to Site Permissions. Seek out Adobe Flash, click on the option, then toggle the button to turn it on.
Reload the webpage and check if the video is working again as it should. If not, well, continue reading.
NOTE: Adobe Flash has been deprecated now.
2] Clear the cache
OK, so the next step we can take in a bid to fix video playing problems in Edge, is by clearing the cache. In fact, a lot of problems with this browser can be solved by performing this action.
In order to clear the cache, please follow the steps above to open the Settings area. From there, select Privacy and Services from the categories to the left, then scroll down to Clear Browsing Data. Under it, you should see “This includes history, passwords, cookies, and more. Only data from this profile will be deleted.”
Click on Choose What to Clear, and from the pop-up window, select Cached Images and Files, and finally, click on Clear Now. Wait for Edge to do its thing, restart the web browser and try to load the video again.
3] Reset Edge Flags
Here’s the thing, issues with YouTube failing to work properly in Edge could be linked to the edge:flags. Now, to set things right, type edge:flags in Edge’s address bar, then hit Enter on the keyboard.
Simply click on Reset all to default to return this section to its original setting. We ask that only advanced users make changes to the edge:flags section when necessary.
4] Disable Hardware Acceleration
OK, so if you’re having problems with your GPU, you will have problems watching videos, especially if your browser set to render using GPU acceleration. By default, Edge takes advantage of GPU acceleration, but this can be changed to the software.
Again, navigate back to the Settings area of Microsoft Edge, but this time, you will want to click on System from the category section found on the left. You should now see three options after selecting System, but we will be focusing on Use hardware acceleration when available. Click the toggle button to turn it off.
Should that option fail to work, then how about we turn off hardware acceleration from within Internet Options. Going this route will remove this feature for all web browsers and not just Microsoft Edge, so please keep that in mind.
Press the Windows Key + S, then search for Internet Options and click on once it’s up. A new window should pop up with several options, just select the Advanced tab, and select Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering*.
Hit Apply, then OK, and finally, restart your computer to ensure everything goes into effect.
Let us know if this helped you.
