@gowththota-sfa Thank you for the issue. A few questions:

• Did you run npx playwright install? This was not clear from the description?
• Did you run npx playwright install msedge? This should auto-detect your existing Microsoft Edge installation, but also install ffmpeg required for the video recording to work.
• Have you considered turning off video recording in your playwright.config.ts? That's the only feature that needs ffmpeg. If you cannot run any non-approved binaries, perhaps this would be the best solution.
