Bonjour! If I want to replace Flash Player with HTML5 Video Player And Converter, how do I do that? Do I just need to download HTML5 Video Player And Converter for free and install it on my computer to then remove my old Flash Player? I still have the old Windows 7 on my computer and I know that soon I will have to replace it. What should I replace it with that would be compatible with HTML5 Video Player And Converter?

Héhé :D

If you have SWF (Flash) games on your hard drive, you can still use them.

It’s the Adobe Flash Player plugin that is no longer available.
However, there is a standalone version.

Standalone version: an executable version.

It’s a version that does not require installation.
Originally, it was used by developers to test SWF files (or links).

Go here: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html
Download the version: Download the Flash Player projector (onto your desktop, for example).

From there, launch it.
do File > Open

You can now launch SWF files or SWF links.

Hello,

I don't quite understand your question. If you want to watch videos streamed on the web in HTML5, there's nothing special to do; just use a modern browser.

If you want to stream videos on your website or blog, you need to convert the videos into a format compatible with HTML5 and insert them using the <video> tag. There are three compatible formats: mp4, ogv, and webm. The mp4 format is the most compatible with various browsers, but you can use all three formats simultaneously.

To convert videos to these formats, there are many software options available.

To play videos in different formats on your computer, there's no need to convert them; VLC can handle that perfectly well.

    Hello,
    
    Flash Player is indeed set to disappear by the end of 2020; I don't think it will be replaced by another player, that wouldn't make sense.
    The websites that offer videos or Flash games will need to use another technology. For videos, it's HTML5; for games, I don't know what is being considered, they're going to have to rethink their approach.

Flash is indeed abandoned, but that doesn't mean it will stop working.
You will still be able to play your games, but the longer time goes on, the greater the risk of an attack via Flash will become.

  Since this morning, Flash Player is blocked, no Flash files are working anymore, even with SWF Opener.
  I had plenty of little games on my computer; nothing to open them anymore.

  Why are you talking about site reading?
  
  The person already has the files on the PC.

  Because I also have a problem with the disappearance of Flash Player. I’m used to reading an interactive manual through a website and since today, nothing works...

  And could you send me the link where the interactive manual was located?

  It's on pne.kiosque-edu where I have an account and where I normally have access to reading enriched interactive textbooks.

Hello,
I have a game that only works with Flash on a site with the following link https://www.shooter-bubble.fr//bubble-hit.html. I did as you said with the installation of the Flash Player projector, I copy the link into the window but it doesn't work. Do you have a solution?

  Hello Mephisto.
  
  That's normal, because it's not the direct link to the game, but the link where the game is hosted.
  
  Open your link.
  Right-click on the game, and select inspect element.
  Look closely, you should see the link pointing to the SWF file.
  
  In video (I use Opera GX):

  Hello,
  
  It is up to the concerned site (tv5monde) to make the necessary modifications to replace Flash Player, the discontinuation of which was announced to publishers three years ago.
  
  See:
  
  https://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html
  
  and review the information provided above.
