Why does a security resource publication such as TechRepublic still use Flash videos??

May I ask which video you are referring to as TechRepublic doesn't use flash for our videos, we use HTML5.

Thank you!

My apologies. Just going by which browser I can view any of your videos that load when i click on a story from my newsletters which is Edge. I do not have flash installed in any of my other browser. I generally use Chrome or Firefox but the videos in your stories come up with a green screen, audio only. Just figured the video was getting blocked due to flash content. However, I can copy and paste the link into Edge, which has flash enabled, and the video works. Could it have something to do with my use of Ad-Block Plus extension in my browsers? Only trouble with that theory is I use that extension in Edge also.

Again my apologies. Turned out to be related to hardware acceleration turned on in the browse. Once toggled off the videos will play.

I am happy to hear it was a simple solution and totally understandably why it would appear the videos were based on flash :-)
