How to Share a Site Link from Edge browser from Windows OS

Microsoft Edge link sharing is a feature that allows users to quickly and easily share web links with others on connected mediums. Users can share links via email, social media, and other platforms and generate a QR code for easy scanning. This feature is available for desktop and mobile devices on the Microsoft Edge browser.

Share Site Link Externally from Edge browser

If you’re reading an article or a page in your Edge browser and want to forward the link to other devices quickly, you can do it without worry.

Microsoft Edge allows sending the link within connected devices. You can send the links between Edge browsers installed on Windows PC, Mac, Android Phones, etc., signed in with the same Microsoft account.

You can also share the link using social and communication media apps like Twitter, Email, etc. However, you would need these apps installed on your Windows device.

If you use an Android phone, you can use the YourPhone app to send the link and files between the phone and PC.

Quick Share and Send

The Microsoft Edge Chromium browser supports quick sharing and sends links between your Android and Windows PC. You can choose different Windows apps like Twitter, Linkedin, and Facebook to share links on social media.

Here are the steps that will help you to use the quick share:

  1. Launch the Edge browser on the computer.
  2. Open the Website URL you need to share.
  3. Click on the More horizontal 3dots icon for options menu.
  4. Choose the Share option command within the menu.
