Adobe Flash Player is a browser plug-in that allows your browser to deliver web content, designs, animation, and various application user interfaces. You can install and activate it on any browser you use.

Support for Adobe Flash ends in December 2020. After that time, it will no longer be possible to use Flash.

Steps

Get the Latest Flash Player

Open your preferred web browser. This may be Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or any other browser you regularly use.

Head to the main Adobe Flash Player website.

Download the Adobe Flash System plug-in. You'll find this written on a big yellow button (click it).

Head to your download directory after downloading. This is usually located in 'My Computer.'

Double-click the downloaded installer. This will start the installation process.

Complete installation. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Enable Flash on Your Browser

Open your preferred browser. Again, there are myriad of different options to choose from.

Go to the "Tools" menu. Once there, choose "Options."

Enable Flash Player. Tick the “Enable Flash Player” checkbox.

Test the Flash Player

Reboot your computer. You can either do this manually by pressing the button, or find the setting in your computer settings to restart.

Launch your browser again. Double-click the icon of the browser of choice.

Load a page that requires Flash. An example of this is YouTube. Try to load a video. If the video loaded without any problems, you've successfully enabled Flash on your browser.
