navigator.share not working properly on Windows 10 Chrome + Edge browsers

Question

I'm using the Network Sharing API, which according to the caniuse website should be supported on Windows OS (browsers Chrome and Edge). But when I try to use navigator.share({ title: 'Title' }); I get an empty window with a message.

For example, if I use Mac OS Safari, it works fine and shows all ways to share content.

My question is why on Windows I see empty windows and how to fix it.

Answer 1

The problem is that Windows requires the url parameters to be sent along with the header. If you change it to navigator.share({ title: 'Title', url: 'url' }); it will start working on Windows and MacOS.
