Is Microsoft Multimedia Redirection safe?

Low risk

Microsoft Multimedia Redirection bridges browser audio/video to a native OS host and shares internal port identifiers across page iframes without origin restrictions.

The extension injects content scripts on all pages to route multimedia streams from web applications to a local native messaging host. It tracks iframe relationships and shares internal native port IDs and page titles with child iframes using wildcard postMessage targeting, meaning any cross-origin iframe on the page can receive these identifiers. A cross-origin iframe can also spoof routing messages back to the parent page, corrupting the extension's native port mapping for that tab.
