Enable plugins on google chrome

Solved
help61 -  
Good evening,

I can't view images on a website. I'm redirected to www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer

This link explains that I need to enable Flash Player as below, but
I can't figure out how to get to a Chrome page, I have Google Chrome and when I type in the address bar chrome://plugins, I get taken to some link suggestions.
I also checked the Google settings options, in extensions. I'm not getting anywhere.
Can you help me activate Flash Player in Chrome?

Thank you

Below are the provided explanations:

"I cannot display enriched multimedia content. How to enable Flash Player?

You may have disabled Flash Player in Chrome. To reactivate it:

Type about:plugins in the address bar at the top of the Chrome browser window.

Click on Details in the upper right corner of the page.

In the external modules page that appears, look for the Flash (or Shockwave Flash) list and click the corresponding activation button.

Close all Chrome windows and restart the browser."

    Hello,

    The command chrome://plugins no longer works on Google Chrome in the latest versions

    Check:
    Open Google Chrome
    Clear everything in the address bar (URL)
    Copy/paste this command

    chrome://settings/content

    Then press enter (or right-click to paste the URL and access it)
    Scroll down the list to Flash
    Check the box → Ask first before allowing sites to run Flash (recommended)
    Finish with OK



    Check and update Flash player in Google Chrome
    Open Google Chrome
    Clear everything in the address bar (URL)
    Copy/paste this command

    chrome://components

    Then press enter (or right-click to paste the URL and access it)
    Scroll down to Adobe Flash Player
    Click on → check for updates
    Press F5 on the keyboard to refresh
    The latest version is: 25.00.148


    Return to your site and refresh the page
    Press F5 on the keyboard to refresh

    If you still have the issue
    Go to this site
    Step 1 → Windows 10/Windows 8
    Step 2 → FP 25 for Opera and Chromium
    Click on → download now
    Close Google Chrome and all other applications
    Go to your Downloads folder
    Install Adobe

      Hello and thank you for this information

      In content settings, the box "ask before allowing sites to run Flash (recommended)" is already checked

      In chrome://components, under Adobe Flash Player, it says "no updates" and the version is 25.0.0.148, which is the latest

      I clicked as you indicated on "check for updates," response "Status - Component not updated"

      I refreshed the page on the site that was causing an issue by pressing F5, nothing new, no access to the views.

      In the information read on the internet, it is indicated that Flash Player is included in Chrome. Not knowing this, I downloaded and installed it. Could this cause an issue?

      Otherwise, can I uninstall Adobe Flash Player and reinstall it following your latest instructions?

      Thank you

      I returned to the site and by clicking on blocked plug-in, I was allowed to make an exception for their site and I was able to access the images.

      In Chrome content settings/flash, shouldn't we check allow sites to run Flash instead of the other option?

      @help61If Flash Player is up to date, there's no need to uninstall it.
      You can try it out and check the option to allow sites to run Flash.
      Explanation:
      It seems that from now on, Chrome will block Flash Player by default, as Chrome 53 will use HTML5 instead of Adobe Flash Player.
      It is good to know that you will still be able to use Adobe Flash Player instead of HTML5.
      Google is now giving users a simple way to deal with websites where HTML5 is not yet available, as the browser prompts them to enable Flash Player whenever necessary.

      @pistouriThank you very much

      I now know that whenever I'm stuck I have the option to activate the Flash player.
      If I check allow sites to run Flash is there any risk that might, for example, prevent certain controls?

      @help61I don't think so, unless you go on unreliable sites.
