-| `msEdgeFluentOverlayScrollbar` | Force-enables Fluent Overlay scrollbars, overriding whatever value `kFluentScrollbar` may hold at the moment. |
 | `msEdgeDevToolsWdpRemoteDebugging` | Enables remote debugging.  See [Remote debugging WebView2 WinUI 2 (UWP) apps](../how-to/remote-debugging.md), [Remotely debug Windows devices](../../devtools/remote-debugging/windows.md). |

 | `msEnhancedTextContrast` | Improves text contrast enhancement and gamma correction to match the quality and clarity of other native Windows applications.  When this flag is used, font rendering respects user ClearType Tuner settings when applying text contrast enhancement and gamma correction. |
 | `msEnhancedTrackingPreventionEnabled` | Enables native privacy protection features, such as blocking cookies and web requests that reside in domains that are known to be tracking domains. |
 | `msFloatyMode` | Takes a `true` or `false` value.  If `true`, enables the Floaty feature.  If `false`, disables the Floaty feature.  Use this flag to disable the Floaty feature, because WebView doesn't support browser retention experiments. |
 | `msFloatyShouldHonorIndiaHoldout` | Takes a `true` or `false` value.  If `true`, honors the India holdout group.  If `false`, disables the Floaty feature that's enabled if the user is part of the India holdout group, because WebView doesn't support browser retention experiments. |

This feature also enables bytecode caching for any other components that use the DevTools network interception mechanism to provide custom responses; see [Custom management of network requests](..\how-to\webresourcerequested.md). |
 | `msWebView2EnableDownloadContentInWebResourceResponseReceived` | Allows responses of navigations that become downloads to be available in `WebResourceResponseReceived`. |
-| `msWebView2TextureStream` | Allows streaming captured or composed video frames to the WebView2 control, where JavaScript can render or otherwise interact with the frames via W3C standard [DOM](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Document_Object_Model) APIs, including the [Video Embed element](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video) and [MediaStream](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/MediaStream). |
