Hi everyone,
I know, I know... We're midway through 2021 and shouldn't still be talking about Flash! But, I desperately need your help with a former colleague's course.
The course itself doesn't have any Flash elements. It plays fine in the current version of Edge (91.0.864.48).
But, the videos are being blocked as Flash in the old version of Edge used by my company (81.0.416.68).
Does anyone know what's going on? Unfortunately, several images are missing from the source files, so republishing is not an option.
I appreciate any help you can provide!
Thanks,
Anna

If you copy the images from your published course files (e.g., from the aicc or html folder), find the images folder, and copy all of them, then you can paste these in your images folder in your source folder. Any file that is already there you can ignore, and not replace. (you could always make a backup copy before doing this if you are hesitant). should take a few minutes total.
Sorry, I don't know why the videos would be blocked. What type of video file is it?- Adam Cain

Adam... Could you tell I was panicking? I totally forgot I could download the SCORM package from my LMS. I was thinking I'd have to right click and save each image! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
For what it's worth, the videos are MP4s! I'd still love to figure out why they're being blocked as Flash in an old version of Edge but playing fine in the latest version. (My company disabled browser updates which is another big problem!) -
If the issue was a Flash issue, then wouldn't the same viewing problem exist in the newer version of Edge? (e.g. why would an older version of Edge not support flash, but a newer version of Edge would? Isn't that kind of reverse of what one might expect in regards to flash support in updated browsers?)
Looks like there was some general issues with the Edge browser and videos in general. Maybe there is some relation: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/microsoft-edge-wont-play-youtube-videos

@agrillo-9515 the reason one version of Edge works and the other does not is likely due to settings. Maybe your company has enterprise settings that cause the discrepancy.
