The Chromium-based Microsoft Edge<\/a> is a quite functional and feature-packed browser. While it brings more than enough features to the table, there are several more in the pipeline. Microsoft is currently testing a new experimental feature called Sharing Hub that makes it easier to share content with other people. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can enable and use Desktop Sharing Hub in the Microsoft Edge browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enable & Use Desktop Sharing Hub in Microsoft Edge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Edge has evolved a lot as a browser in the last few years. The addition of so many cool features like Vertical Tabs, Built-in screenshot tool, Sleeping Tabs, Tab Search, and now the Sharing Hub has made the mark for browser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, below is how you can enable and use Sharing Hub in Edge browser on your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Open Microsoft Edge browser on your Windows or Mac computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Type and enter Edge:\/\/flags<\/strong> in the address bar to visit Edge experimental features page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Edge<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong>: On the Edge Flags page, search for “Sharing Hub.” You will get two results- Desktop Sharing Hub in App Menu<\/strong> and Desktop Sharing Hub in Omnibox<\/strong>. The former will bring Sharing Hub to the Edge three-dot menu, while the latter will enable it in the address bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Desktop<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 4<\/strong>: Both these flags will be set as Default. Tap on the drop-down menu for each and set it to Enabled<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Desktop<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 5<\/strong>: Once the flags are turned on, Edge will send a prompt to restart<\/strong> the browser to make these changes in effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Restart<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 6<\/strong>: As soon as you restart the browser, Sharing Hub icon<\/strong> will start appearing in the address bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Use Sharing Hub in Edge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To use the Sharing Hub, the next time you visit a webpage, tap the Sharing icon. You will get four different share options- Copy link<\/strong>, QR code<\/strong>, Cast<\/strong>, and Save page as<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sharing<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can use the Copy link<\/strong> to copy the link to the webpage and paste it anywhere. Whereas the QR code<\/strong> option will create a sharable QR code of the web page. The Cast<\/strong> option is for casting the webpage on an external screen. Lastly, the Save page as<\/strong> allows you to save the webpage on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sharing<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> The method to enable and use Desktop Sharing Hub will work for both- Edge Canary 92.0.900.0 and Google Chrome 92 and later versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Edge is adding features at a rapid pace. The Sharing Hub feature seems quite useful for someone who frequently shares web pages. Although the feature is experimental for now, I hope it will arrive in the public build very soon. Anyways, what are your thoughts about the Sharing Hub feature in Edge?
