Is it impossible to use Miro in Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome?

If yes, is there any function that we cannot use or all of it is the same as Chrome?

I would not call it restrictions - Edge kills the miro experience.

There are no known restrictions if you are using Microsoft Edge version 79 or higher. I have been using the latest version of Edge + Miro as my daily driver on my corporate laptop for 6+ months with zero issues.

There are two flavours of Microsoft Edge:

  1. Legacy
  2. Chromium based

As of January 2020, the first stable version of the new, Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser was released (version 79). Chromium is an open-source browser project that Google Chrome’s browser is based off, so for the sake of using Miro, I would wager to say that any version higher than 79 of Microsoft Edge will be comparable to Google Chrome - enough that I have been using the new MS Edge on work laptop with Miro and have yet to run into any issues.

So, the new Edge (shortcut looks like this) will work:

 

The old Edge (shortcut looks like this) will not work:

Thx, Robert, for the clarification. I do not know what version my counterpart was using, but maybe indeed an older version.
