How-to enable for mobile device the seamless consumption of embedded Microsoft Stream on SharePoint page

SharePoint Online Modern Sites/Pages are by-design prepared for mobile / on-the-go consumption. An use case is to embed a Stream video on a page - either on-demand or live event -, and the audience then has the freedom to consume on regular workplace, or via their own mobile device.
However, be aware that in the latter case for seamless Stream behavior it is required that the mobile browser is set to 'Allow All Cookies / Block No Cookies'. Without this, typical the mobile browser fails from within the authenticated SharePoint Online context, next implicit logon the user to the embedded Stream service. The SharePoint Online Product Group confirmed this: To enable in Edge on mobile device seamless MS Stream behavior when embedded on SharePoint Online [modern] page, then infra prerequisite is that mobile Edge is configured to ‘Not block cookies’. The subject is current missing from the requirements stated on Microsoft official Knowledge Base. The Engineering Team will add this to the documentation for further clarity in the future.
