Why does not flash player work in classmates. What should I do if I do not see the video in Odnoklassniki: help and advice

Today it is difficult to find a user who would not use at least one of today's social networks. There are many reasons for this, but the most important role is played by their convenience and efficiency in the search for old school friends or fellow students from the university.

In short, there are many reasons for their wide application. Our users also enjoy the opportunity to view all sorts of videos that are laid out there: from the latest novelties of the film industry to ridiculous videos with the participation of friends. The most common service in our region is VKontakte, but there are also many admirers of Odnoklassniki.

About video issues ...

Video files in the latest social network is not so much, but there are more problems with them. In any case, regular users are often worried about the same question: "Why does not the video show in Odnoklassniki?" However, do not rush to blame developers: as official statistics show, most fans of this social network are not advanced computer users, and therefore to master the browser for them is already a great achievement.

So why does not the video show in Odnoklassniki? As you could understand, most often the reasons are very simple and banal.


Checking the Flash Player

Often it turns out that the user has no idea about the need to install a Flash player, and in fact without it you will not be able to see exactly one video. To install it, you need to go to the official site and download the installation file. Then click on it with the right mouse button, and in the resulting context menu select "Run as administrator".

Following the prompts of the installation program, we terminate the installation. The good thing is that you only need to click the "Next" button with the left mouse button a couple of times. Restart the browser, go back to the site and enjoy watching the videos.

You can do even easier. If you are not at all sure about your user talents, we suggest you download the browser Google Chrome. What are its advantages? First, it is automatically updated, so that the relevance of the versions can not be watched at all. Secondly, which is much more important, it already has a built-in Flash, so this problem disappears by itself.

But why does not the video show in "Odnoklassniki" if the player on your system already exists?

We are updating the Flash version!


Alas, but you have to remember that it is important not only to have this software  on your computer, but also to monitor the relevance of its releases. In general, nothing complicated in this. As a rule, at the next computer reboot the system will issue a warning that there is an updated version of Flash. You just need to click on the "Download" button, and then click on the "Next" button a couple of times.

But in recent years, users most often prefer laptops, and they can not reboot for months. So, if the site shows you a message like: "You need to update the Flash player version", you must visit the official Adobe site, download the latest release from there, and then install it. We already talked about the method of such an installation in the very first part of the article.

We follow the browser!

More precisely, again, for his version. If you continue to use IE 6 or something like that, then it's hard to think why the Odnoklassniki does not show the video, it's not necessary. Old versions of browsers today, almost no popular resource does not support, and therefore you will have to download and install something more modern.

If you missed something from the above, then once again recommend Google Chrome, as it is updated itself.

Video Card Drivers

It is extremely rare, but sometimes it happens, in "Odnoklassniki" does not show video because of problems with the drivers of the video card. Suppose that you have such a problem. First it is worth checking, but is this software installed on your computer in principle?


To do this, click on the "My Computer" icon with the right mouse button, and then select the "Properties" item in the appeared context menu. In the opened window, you should pay attention to the left part: there is the item "Device Manager".

Click on this item with the left mouse button and see: is there any suspicious exclamation marks in the list that opens before you? If not, and the "Video adapters" item is listed, then everything is fine, there are no problems with the drivers.

If everything is just the opposite, they will have to be installed independently. It is not difficult to do this. First, try this: click on the item with the exclamation mark all the same with the right mouse button, then select the "Properties" item in the context menu. A dialog box will appear. In it, select the "Driver" tab. Then click the "Update" button.

It appears in which you need to click the left mouse button on the button "Automatic search for updated drivers". The system itself will find everything and install it. Important! For everything to be successful, it is extremely important to have a normal connection to the Internet, otherwise you will not be able to download anything.

By the way, how is the connection?

If you suddenly stop showing the video in "Classmates", it makes sense to check your Internet connection. Perhaps, already half an hour there is no signal from the provider, and you are all trying to see your favorite movie?

In the event that such a gloomy guess is confirmed, you will have to contact technical support  your provider and find out all the details of the disaster that occurred. Perhaps there are problems on his side, but do not forget about the possible malfunctions of his router or modem.

By the way, about modems. If you use a USB whistle, then it is very desirable to set "Priority of 3G connection" in the settings, because otherwise (more than once it is checked in practice) the signal will confidently "crawl" to EDGE.

If there are no third generation networks in your territories in principle, then the situation when the video in "Odnoklassniki" does not work will be typical: the speed of 2G is simply not enough for normal video uploading. Have or experience another operator mobile communication, or completely abandon the idea of ​​using a social network as a movie theater.

That's why the video in Odnoklassniki is not played. As you can see, the problem can be really helped.

   In Russia, the second most popular network is Odnoklassniki, which belongs to the holding Mail.ru

Problems are also found among users of social networks. One of them - do not open videos in Classmates. There are a number of reasons why it occurs. But get upset and immediately look for a master - do not. Everyone can solve this problem independently.

Consider, because of what the videos in Classmates stop playing:

  • the browser is out of date;
  • missing or in need of updating the Flash player;
  • there are no necessary codecs;
  • problems with drivers.

Adobe Flash Player

A special application responds to the playback of interactive elements on the pages.  Most browsers need to download and install it separately. Also, due to older versions of this application, in a number of cases, the clips are no longer played. This is due to the vulnerabilities of older versions, then you need to update Flash Player  in Classmates. Consider how to do this:

  1. Go to the developer's site. A link to it will be shown on the site of the video.
  2. Uncheck the download of additional software and download the player.
  3. Install the downloaded player. It is better to run the installation as administrator.

After starting the installation program, the user only needs to click the "Next" button. Change the parameters is not required, by default they are matched correctly.

   Let me install Flash Player updates automatically

This will help avoid the idle video due to outdated software in the future.

Often, users install different add-ons to the browser. They block malicious applications and advertisements, but often such a plug-in can affect the performance of the video in Odnoklassniki. In this case, you need to configure it by adding social network  in the white list.

Important! Sometimes, during installation, an error occurs with the Flash Player connection, in order to avoid it, you must remove the old version from the control panel in advance.

A common reason that Odnoklassniki does not have a video call is in the missing or outdated flash player. It's worth installing it or updating it and everything usually comes back to normal. Although there are problems associated with the webcam, but they are rare.

Old version of the browser

Chrome browser and some others already have a built-in player. For them, you do not need to download it separately and this will be notified when you enter the Adobe site. But observers - obsolete. Because of this, it often does not work Adobe Flash  Player in Classmates. The solution to the problem is an update.

To start the update in Opera, Chrome or FireFox, in the Help section select the "About the browser" option.

   After that, the download and installation will start automatically

Before you perform an update, you only need to connect to the Internet.

Drivers for video card and codecs

Unidentified codecs lead to video problems. The user must download and install them, performing the following:

  1. Download and install the latest K-Lite Codec Pack.
  2. Reload the OS.
  3. Check the video performance by going to your page and running the video.

The video card driver also affects the performance of video clips. At the same time, users do not notice his absence if they do not use a PC for games. In this case, you need to download the latest version of the driver and install it. Then restart the computer and check the work of the videos.

SEE VIDEO

Now you know why videos in classmates can not be played.

In this article, we'll talk about a flash player. Why is it needed? We will not go into technical details (it is unlikely that anyone is interested in this), let's just say that many online games are built on this technology. Accordingly, if you do not have Flash Player installed on your computer or turned off, you will not be able to play the game, because when you open it, you will see something like this:


Interestingly, this inscription does not say that you really need to update Adobe Flash Player, such an inscription can be even in the case of the last one installed version  player. Why? The inscription appears also when the flash player is simply turned off, as, for example, in recent versions  Google Chrome.

Let's look at both options. If the flash player is disabled in the browser (the same Google Chrome), do the following: copy this here chrome: // settings / content / flash  in the address bar of Google Chrome and press Enter on the keyboard. The Flash page opens, you can set the checkboxes to your liking. For example, allow Flash on all sites, but do not ask how, for example:

In this case, all flash games or flash movies will be downloaded immediately.

In Mozilla, the flash player can be disabled by the user through the "Plugins" section (Ctrl + Shift + A), it needs to be turned on by itself.


Well, if Adobe Flash Player is really outdated or not installed on the computer, where can I download it? Only on the official website (https://get.adobe.com/en/flashplayer/). Come in and install, if necessary, remove the tick from additional applications (or leave).

After installing the flash player the game should boot.

If your PC does not show video in classmates , do not be upset, sound an alarm and call the service " Computer help". Definitely a problem! But reparable. And moreover, solely on their own. Therefore - throw aside all the "black thoughts", be cool, read the following instructions to eliminate this "breakdown"; and act! Why should I refuse to watch interesting videos ?!

The reasons why the video does not work in classmates , are of a very diverse nature: the lack of necessary software components in the OS, an incorrectly configured browser, etc. Let's consider them in more detail.

Reason # 1: does not work / not installed Adobe Flash Player

Flash Player - a special application that allows you to view interactive elements on web pages; including video. Without it on the Internet - nowhere. It must be installed in Windows! All browsers (FireFox, Opera, Internet Explorer), opening "Classmates" and other sites, connect Flash. The only exception is the Google Chrome browser, which has its own application module (the flash player is integrated into its software shell).

Determine that the video is not playing in classmates because of the fact that Windows does not have Flash installed, it's very easy. When you start the player, instead of the video, the browser displays a message with a sad smile "To play ... you need to install Adobe Flash ...".

If you have the same "picture" on the monitor, do the following:

1.   Immediately, in the video player, click the left mouse button on the link "Install Adobe Flash Player" (it is underlined).

2.   The browser will open the page for downloading the Flash application (the official website of Adobe):


  • In the middle block of the "Additional offers" page, uncheck the box "Yes, install ...". By this action, you can cancel the additional installation of the McAffe anti-virus product, which has nothing to do with what does not show the video in classmates (why litter the system with unnecessary software ?!);
  • Click the "Install now" button to start downloading the Flash installer on the PC.

3.   Hover over the icon of the downloaded installer and click the right mouse button. Of context menu  select "Run as administrator".


4.   In the installer settings window, leave everything as is, that is, by default.

6.   Click "Finish". Restart the browser. Go to "Classmates". The site should be all "OK" - the video player should work.

Reason # 2: Improperly configured add-ons for browsers

Sometimes in classmates do not open the video because of the work of special add-ons that extend the functionality of browsers. Of course, they perform a lot of useful things - they block advertising banners, save traffic, limit the work of potentially dangerous scripts. But, if they are not properly configured or the user (novice!) Does not know that they are installed in the browser, naturally unpleasant incidents occur.

The most common cases of "harmful effects" of browser add-ons include the following:

1. Flashblock and other add-ons that disable Flash elements on the downloaded web page.


The reaction of these "helpers" on the site ok.ru is quite natural: video player - flash element; then you need to block it - install the icon "F" instead of the video, and thus inform the user that the work is done.

In this situation, you can access the video in several ways:

  • click the "F" icon or other blocking symbol and start viewing;
  • open settings Flashblock  (or a similar application) and add the site "Classmates" to the exceptions (WhiteList). After that all flash elements, including the player, will not be blocked on its pages;
  • Disable / remove the application that "closes" Flash Player.

2.   Noscript and other add-ons that limit the effect of scripts (JavaScript) on a web page for security purposes.

To extend NoScript and its counterparts, Flash is a potentially dangerous element (or rather, the code of its script). Therefore, by default, when its filters function, the audio player does not start, the "Find friends" function does not work, the video does not load in classmates .

To view videos in your favorite social network and use NoScript protection at the same time, you need to make the appropriate settings.
