I have access to the new Bing but cannot use the chat function in Bing on Edge

I joined the waitlist about 10 days ago and got access a few days ago. However, when I attempt to use Bing chat in Edge, it always pops up a screen and tells me that "Chat mode is only available when you have access to the new Bing." I have signed in with the account to which the access has been granted. How do I resolve the issue?

    Solution. / Fix

    I found that the user-agent MS edge is

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edge/114.0.0.0

    Note the Edg at the end.

    I changed my user-agent to

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edge/114.0.0.0

    and it started working.

    GOT IT! Bing Chat for Chrome! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bing-chat-for-all-browser/jofbglonpbndadajbafmmaklbfbkggpo 

    I gave Edge a chance and tried to fix the issue for a few days. If they are going to leave me hanging with no way to resolve the issue, then I'm done with them. I've already sent this link to a dozen people having the same issue. Bye bye Edge.
