Tabs in Microsoft Edge allow you to open multiple web pages within a single browser window. Each open tab is a separate webpage that you can organize and switch between in the browser window.
If you have on or more tabs playing sound, you can quickly mute or unmute them as needed to stop the sound output from a tab without having to mute system sound or close the tab or Edge.
When you mute a tab, it does not stop the audio playing from the tab. It only mutes the sound output.
