Apps for Websites

Talk about edge cases!

When you click a link to play a video or music file on some web page, do

you want it to play right there in the browser—or do you want it to open the
Movies & TV app, or a music-playing app, on your PC? When you click an
address link, do you want it to open in another web page or in Maps?

Microsoft’s original thought was that, here, you could choose. But it
requires that software companies update their programs to announce which
kinds of web links they can open, and very few have.

Video Playback

The settings you make here affect Microsoft’s own video programs, like
Edge, Photos, and Movies & TV, and any Store apps that rely on Windows’

built-in video software, including Hulu, Netflix, and Vudu. The main things
worth noticing here are “I prefer video to play at a lower resolution” (so
you don’t eat up your monthly data allowance—well, not as fast) and

“Optimize for battery life,” which once again lowers the video quality, this
time for the sake of your battery.
