IT House News on August 30, last week, Microsoft updated the Microsoft Edge browser to version 116, in addition to fixing various bugs and performance issues, Microsoft also brought two new features.
In addition, existing users have found that version 116 also has a new "copy video frame" function, but Microsoft did not mention specific information in the release notes.
This hidden feature is also very easy to use, and you don't even need to set any switches, as long as you open a video and right-click on the video to see the color-coded "Copy Video Frames."
Of course, some website videos are natively adapted to the context menu, so you have to click twice to bring up the context menu of the Edge browser itself.
It is worth mentioning that this function is currently basically applicable to most video websites, whether it is B station, iQiyi, or YouTube, but IT Home has found that some traditional websites, as well as encrypted websites such as Netflix, Douyu Huya live broadcast sites, and videos on Weibo Twitter social platforms cannot obtain video frames in this way.
Although we can also get similar pictures by taking screenshots, compared with screenshots, extracting video frames directly can obviously get better picture quality, because this can ensure that the resulting screenshots are consistent with the original resolution of the video. For example, if your device only supports 1080p, but the video source supports 4K, you can get a 4K map when you copy the frame to the clipboard.
