If you are M365 or hybrid, you sync your AD to Microsoft (or it's in AzureAD completely), meaning your account can sync settings with them too, if your AD is completely in-house, you cannot sync settings, not over the internet at least, you would need to use folder-redirection or roaming profiles in-house, but your settings would not sync to non-domain joined devices. I noticed the same problem there too so I switched to Opera, then Vivaldi and finally Edge, to no avail, the audio still went out of sync after 15 or so seconds. The whole thing cycles round and is synced after about 2-3 minutes, depending on the length of the video. The following configuration options are available for enabling Microsoft Edge sync: Azure Information Protection (AIP) AAD Enterprise State Roaming (ESR) If both AIP and ESR are disabled, users will see an error message indicating that sync is not available for their account.

By default, the “browser” group syncs automatically between the user’s devices, letting users make changes. The “browser” group uses the Sync your Settings option in Settings to sync information like history and favorites. You can configure Microsoft Edge to prevent the “browser” group from syncing and prevent users from turning on the Sync your Settings toggle in Settings. If you want syncing turned off by default but not disabled, select the Allow users to turn “browser” syncing option in the Do not sync browser policy.

-->This article explains how admins can configure Microsoft Edge to sync user favorites, passwords, and other browser data across all signed-in devices.
Note
Applies to Microsoft Edge version 77 or later unless otherwise noted.
Overview
Microsoft Edge sync enables users to access their browsing data across all their signed-in devices. The data supported by sync includes:
- Favorites
- Passwords
- Addresses and more (form-fill)
- Collections
- Settings
- Extension
- Open tabs (available in Microsoft Edge version 88)
- History (available in Microsoft Edge version 88)
Sync functionality is enabled via user consent and users can turn sync on or off for each of the data types listed above. If a user is experiencing a sync issue they might need to reset sync in Settings > Profiles > Reset sync.
Note
Additional device connectivity and configuration data (such as device name, make and model) is uploaded to support sync functionality.
Prerequisites
Microsoft Edge sync for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) accounts is available for any of the following subscriptions:
- Azure AD Premium (P1 or P2)
- M365 Business Premium
- Office 365 E1 and above
- Azure Information Protection (AIP) (P1 or P2)
- All EDU subscriptions (Microsoft Apps for Students or Faculty, Exchange Online for Students or Faculty, O365 A1 or above, M365 A1 or above, or Azure Information Protection P1 or P2 for Students or Faculty)
Sync group policies
Admins can use the following group policies to configure and manage Microsoft Edge sync:
- SyncDisabled: Disables sync completely.
- SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled: Disables saving browsing history and sync. This policy also disables open-tabs sync.
- AllowDeletingBrowserHistory: When this policy is set to disabled, history sync will also be disabled.
- SyncTypesListDisabled: Configure the list of types that are excluded from synchronization.
- RoamingProfileSupportEnabled: Allow Active Directory (AD) profiles to use on-premises storage. For more information, see On-premises sync for Active Directory (AD) users.
- ForceSync: Turn on sync by default and do not require user consent to sync.
Configure Microsoft Edge sync
Microsoft Edge Not Syncing With Outlook
Configuration options for Microsoft Edge sync are available through the Azure Information Protection (AIP) service. When AIP is enabled for a tenant, all users can sync Microsoft Edge data, regardless of licensing. Instructions on how to enable AIP can be found here.
To restrict sync to certain set of users, you can enable the AIP onboarding control policy for those users. If sync is still not available after ensuring that all necessary users are onboarded, ensure that the IPCv3Service is enabled using the Get-AIPServiceIPCv3 PowerShell cmdlet.
Caution
Activating Azure Information Protection will also allow other applications, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook, to protect content with AIP. In addition, any onboarding control policy used to restrict Edge sync will also restrict other applications from protecting content using AIP.
Microsoft Edge and Enterprise State Roaming (ESR)
Microsoft Edge is a cross-platform application with an expanded scope for syncing user data across all their devices and is no longer a part of Azure AD Enterprise State Roaming. However, the Microsoft Edge will fulfill the data protection promises of ESR, such as the ability to bring your own key. For more information, see Microsoft Edge and Enterprise State Roaming.
