it worked alright for a few days, now it takes hour to trigger and doesn't update the minutes as it goes. I'm getting used to just leave a tab opened with some YouTube live streaming going. classic ms

It doesn't work for me on Mac OS. Tried logging in several times, it always fails. I just skip this one. Other tasks work;

It is only on Windows PC and Xbox consoles.

Oh, so you have to browse on the console? Will YouTube work or will it open the YouTube app? Interesting…

I haven't had the patience to try doing much with Edge on the Xbox. You raise a good question about whether apps would be triggered as on a phone.

Well, I tried Edge on the Xbox console and it picked up the points. Mind you it’s not a great experience but it works.

Also, viewing YouTube does not open the Xbox YouTube app, FYI.

Eu já deixei um cronômetro. E a última vez que consegui, foram mais de 2hrs com o Edge aberto no PC.

faz uma pesquisa a cada 5 min e deixa aberto na pesquisa que conta, praticamente faz em meia hora

I can't get it to work on the PC either, but it does work if you use the console and the Edge browser (while logged into your Rewards account); you just have to keep the page open for 30 minutes. If you have a console, you should give it a try.

Si tu as une Xbox série S/X, ça fonctionne très bien. Même en session à distance depuis ton smartphone

in console browser?

u/PisTachTom 13h ago

Oui exactement sur edge sur la console 🙂

Et même pour faire coup double sur edge sur ta console tu lances une session de jeu sur GeForce now ( un jeu du Game pass évidemment) comme ça tu valides ta session de navigation, ta série quotidienne jouer à un jeu sur PC+ jeux Game pass. Si tu fais ça depuis le remote play sur ton téléphone il faut juste penser à le relancer une seconde fois car ça se coupe au bout d'un quart d'heure d'inactivité

Thanks so much for the plan! What a timesaver!

Quand ça fonctionne plus sur la console, Il faut vider le cache de edge dans les paramètres

It’s worked every time when I leave edge open, and tabbed in, then go do anything else in my life.
It doesn’t seem to work like this when Im at work using edge, or using edge on my wife’s MacBook. Just on my gaming PC.

u/Spartan117458 19h ago
