Strava segments during workout

Are strava segments supposed to be working during interval workouts ? I read somehwere that they don't work for courses; but I didn't manage to see them during a workout either.
Should i enable them somewhere on the watch ? They're active in garmin connect (i chose strava vs garmin segments) and I can see the segments listed on the watch. However during the workout i got no alert.

thanks !

This is an known limitation on Edge series :-( I suspect this is the same on Fenix line... I was not able to test it because on 2.40 the segment download crashed my F5X... I will test it again why the new beta...

thanks; i tested again today during a "normal" run (no workout) and the segments worked. So seems to be indeed both courses and workouts that are NOT compatible with segments.

Are Strava live segments still not compatible with workouts?

I have the same question

Tried a workout today and no live segment showed up (I am on EDGE 520 plus by the way, will post in that thread too)

Garmin, do you have a reply on this???

still not working... i'm using the fenix 5 and recently had an issue with Stryd so i brought it up with them because during a workout all my devices disconnected HR, Stryd and tempo. after some investigation it wasn't the the Stryd and reading on the internet it seems that workout and segments don't like each other.
