Adobe Flash Player Test - how to find the information

Usually, you needed Adobe Flash Player to display videos, games or animated content on web pages on the Internet, for example. In the meantime, however, these functions have largely been replaced by alternatives, such as HTML5. If you still want to test whether the Flash Player is installed correctly, there are various options available.

How to test Adobe Flash Player

The Adobe Flash Player was needed to play or display various content on a website. In the meantime, however, it has been replaced by alternatives, such as HTML 5 or similar. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to download a separate software. If you would like to uninstall the player on your computer or test it for another reason, Adobe offers you the appropriate functions.

1. On Adobe's website, you can check whether Flash Player is activated or installed on your PC.
2. To do this, go to Adobe's help page and scroll down further to the point "Install Flash Player in five easy steps".
3. Under point 1, you will find the button "Check now". Click on it. After that, you will see below if you have Flash installed and the corresponding version. Zudem werden Ihr Browsername und Ihr Betriebssystem angezeigt.
4. Beachten Sie, dass zum Ende 2020 die Unterstützung für den Flash Player vollständig eingestellt wird. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt ist es nötig, auf eine Alternative zuzugreifen.
