From the past few days i have observed this video glitch in edge. As soon as i open youtube and play any video it first shrinks or any small size and then increases to normal size . When i open any other tab then some part of the video still remains on the screen for 2-3 seconds.
Also whenever using youtube edge tabs freezes randomly.
Pls suggest a fix for the same.

    The video glitching issue you are experiencing in Microsoft Edge, particularly with YouTube, may be related to several factors including browser settings, hardware acceleration, or specific known issues with the browser. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

    1. Disable Hardware Acceleration: Sometimes, hardware acceleration can cause video playback issues. To disable it:
      • Open Edge and go to Settings > System and performance.
      • Toggle off the option for Use hardware acceleration when available.
      • Restart Edge and check if the issue persists.
    2. Clear Cache and Cookies: Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can help resolve playback issues.
      • Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data.
      • Select Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data, then click Clear data.
    3. Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge. Go to Settings > About Microsoft Edge to check for updates.
    4. Disable Extensions: Sometimes, browser extensions can interfere with video playback. Try disabling any extensions you have installed to see if that resolves the issue.
    5. Reset Edge Settings: If the problem continues, consider resetting Edge to its default settings. This can be done in Settings > Reset settings > Restore settings to their default values.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be worth checking for any known issues related to video playback in Edge, as there may be ongoing fixes or updates from Microsoft.
