Video calling has become our most useful tool during the pandemic. From businesses and schools to choirs and virtual hangouts, we use video calling solutions every day to maintain workflow or even our sanity. Microsoft Edge, already one of the most used browsers in the world, understands the need to be connected, especially during such difficult times, and is not afraid to step out of its comfort zone and do something new.

So, keeping up with its promise of making Edge one of the most intuitive browsers, Microsoft has added the option to make a video call right from the home screen itself. Now, with the little intro out of the way, let’s see how you can make a quick video chat right from the browser itself.

Before you can see the feature in all its glory, it’s important to learn more about its availability. Right now, the option to make video calls from the home screen is only available in preview builds — Edge Dev and Canary — and not in the stable build. What’s more, not every Edge Canary user will be able to get their hands on the feature, as Microsoft reserves the privilege for a select group.
