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

Thank you!

We don't use flash for our videos reply

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.

Green screen Fix

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 :-)
