ICYMI – Recapping Microsoft Edge at Build 2020
It’s been one month since the first all-digital Microsoft Build and while we may not have seen each other in person, we sure felt the energy online.
Whether on social media, in the comments section during livestreams, or over webcams for focus groups, we loved hearing from developers around the world (Australia! Japan! India! Brazil!) who asked us great questions, provided valuable feedback, and celebrated what was coming. Devs not only loved hearing from Microsoft Edge team members Melanie and Rachel about larger Microsoft Edge initiatives like our a11y commitment (check out their sessions below), but also about the incremental improvements like bringing in a client-side video editing spec.
You were hungry for Microsoft Edge developer news, so we offered a breadth of sessions covering everything from what’s new in the Chromium platform and tools, to what’s next for Progressive Web Apps, to getting started building hybrid apps with the new WebView2.
In case you missed all the developer, consumer, and commercial Microsoft Edge announcements, check out an overview of those announcements in our Build 2020 blog or catch up on highlights in the sizzle video!
For a little more context on some of those developer announcements, our Build live sessions are a great place to hear directly from the Microsoft Edge team. You can see full a list of Microsoft Edge content here or click on the links below.

We’d also like to give a shout out to all of our friends on Twitter that participated in our first ever #MSBuild-at-Home Bracket on @MSEdgeDev! We saw some incredible home set ups across the categories. At the end, one was chosen by none other than @SHanselman and that was @JenMsft’s Animal Crossing-inspired set up—great work @JenMsft!
