Microsoft is continuing to improve PDF Reader in Edge Chromium. After adding text comments and a slew of features, the company today added the Video Comments option to selected text in PDF documents. The feature is available to try out in Edge 90 Canary.
If you share your PDF documents with colleagues, friends via email or app, then adding a reference to the text in PDF will be pretty useful. Same in the case of Video comments, you can add when they make sense and there is a requirement for doing that.
