Which Edge insider channel/version it's happening on?

what's your Windows 10 OS version?

Are you using latest graphic card driver?

does the problem still happen when hardware acceleration is off?

    Same thing has been happening with me lately with choppiness on youtube. But also been having an issue with quality of youtube videos too, with options not appearing.

     

    For example there's some videos that only give me the options of 720p and 360p, however on other browsers (Firefox, Safari), all options show up, including 1080p. Not sure what's going on there either.

      You are experiencing that problem right now on latest Edge dev or canary too?

        Happening to me on Microsoft Edge Beta, so yesterday I installed Edge dev but the issue was happening there as well. Did not go back to trying the Canary version.

      AlexB Our recommendation would also be to try with your hardware settings disabled, so just let us all know how it goes.
