Jan 31, 2020 I'm having an issue with the new Edge. We run Zoom for conferencing. When I click the link to open up zoom (already installed on my machine) I get this message. I click Open and Zoom the app loads and I'm in.
Improve your browsing experience by comfortably magnifying web content within your computer's Edge browser by relying on this handy extension
The Zoom Edge Extension allows participants to schedule Zoom cloud meetings directly from Google Calendar. With the click of a button, you can start an instant meeting or schedule a future meeting. The meeting URL and information is sent via a Google Calendar invitation so the attendee can join with a single-click. Zoom For Microsoft Edge For Windows 10 free download - Microsoft Edge Legacy, Microsoft Windows PowerShell 1.0 for Windows XP, Microsoft Teams for Windows 10, and many more programs.
Considered by some a big step for Microsoft, while others are not so fond of it, Microsoft Edge is now very much part of the Windows 10 'default' user experience. Having said that, considering the fact that it comes with support for extensions, you might want to give it a chance.
Coming from the developer of the same developer that created the famous cross-browser extension Turn Off the Lights, Zoom for Microsoft Edge is a nifty little tool that aims to make your browsing experience a tad bit better by allowing you to comfortably magnify web content.
Lots of reasons why you should install this extension, almost no reasons why you shouldn't
Apart from enhanced accessibility (thanks to a handy slider), the main reason you might want to install this extension on your computer's Edge browser is the one up to four hundred offered zoom factor. The fact that it can save the zoom value for any number of websites is also another worth mentioning gimmick that should spark your interest.
We're happy to report that video experience has not been overlooked. Use the extension to zoom in on any YouTube page, and you will notice that it also increases the size of the video player itself. It works just as good with HTML5 videos, as well. Head over to the Options section, and you are bound to discover a few other customization features that might also contribute towards making your Edge browsing experience a bit better.
Install it, quickly enable it, add its button to Edge's toolbar, and you're ready to go
The extension can be effortlessly installed from the Microsoft Store, and it only requires you to enable it once you launch Edge afterward.
Since we're on the subject, we'll say that, by default, it lives in the Extensions panel. We know, this is not exactly ideal, therefore, right-click the extension in order to add it next to the address bar, the typical position for most tools of this type.
Must have extension for Edge, especially if you do a lot of reading
To sum it all up, Zoom for Microsoft Edge is a worthy extension for the Microsoft-vetted browser. It improves the way Edge can handle magnification tasks on a wide array of websites, it's easy to install, easy to work with, and it also comes with a few extra customization features meant to improve your browsing experience even more.
