Flash content is gradually becoming a thing of the past, although it is still large number online. The main disadvantage is the need to install an additional module as a handler in each browser. Chromium-based web browsers already have a pre-installed handler, so it is not necessary to install and enable Adobe Flash Player in the Yandex browser. Sometimes the installed module turns out to be inoperable, then you have to download a new plugin, update the browser, or reinstall it.
Is it possible to install Adobe Flash Player in Yandex browser?
A few versions ago, Yandex browser allowed you to install Flash Player and use several plugins at the same time or one of your choice. This approach often led to failures, system malfunctions, and even theft of personal data. The creators of the kernel took a radical path.
Recently (about two months ago), the developers have disabled access to plugin management. Pre-installed plugins can no longer be disabled. Due to the innovation, it was necessary to protect the implemented Flash Player from the one installed in the system. If you install the Adobe Flash Player platform on the system, this will not affect the Yandex browser in any way. All changes made through the “Control Panel” will be effective in relation to Opera and other browsers, but not Yandex browser. 
Since it is no longer possible to install Flash Player on the Yandex browser, another problem has arisen - the difficulty of restoring the plugin after damage. Sometimes a module fails, refusing to work in the system. Previously, the problem was easily solved by reinstalling the Adobe platform, but today you have to work with the entire browser at the same time: update it, delete it and reinstall it...
To summarize: it is impossible to install Flash Player on the Yandex browser, but we can configure it, turn it off, turn it on and perform other manipulations.
How to enable Flash Player in Yandex browser?
By default, the Adobe player is already enabled in the browser, but due to certain actions the plugin may turn off.
Why the module may be disabled:
- We previously disabled the plugin ourselves;
- A system failure occurred that resulted in the plugin being disabled;
- The file responsible for processing swf and spl files has been deleted;
- A plugin has been disabled on a specific page. The browser has a smart mechanism for identifying useful and useless content. If Yandex browser considers the data on the page useless, it will automatically turn off processing of the add-on;
- The site is blacklisted; you won’t be able to open flash content on it unless you manually change the settings.
In most cases, accessing the handler is not difficult. The only exception is malfunctions in the file, here radical actions are already necessary. Next, we’ll look at all the ways to enable Flash Player in the Yandex browser.
Through Flash content settings

Sometimes it is not possible to get the desired result and Adobe Flash Player still launches in the Yandex browser, with the exception of the last method, the plugin will definitely not launch with its help. It is not possible to disable the add-on because the “Always run” setting is set next to the plugin. On the “Plugins” page you need to uncheck this line. 
Possible problems and failures when connecting Flash Player in the Yandex browser
As mentioned earlier, Flash Player is not installed in the Yandex browser, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot problems with displaying Flash content.
Ways to restore the plugin:
- If changes are not installed in Flash Player via the Yandex browser, it makes sense to check if you have rights to edit settings. It is important to check your parental control settings and user rights in Windows. Right-click on the YandexBrowser icon - then go to properties - click on the security section and make sure that in the "Permissions for the group [Name of your Windows account]" section, the allow option is next to all items (Exception - "Special permissions");
- The site is added to exceptions - this is the most common cause of unpredictable behavior. If a site is on the “black list”, regardless of the activation of the Flash plugin, it will not work on this resource. You should go to " Exception management» and remove the ban on the operation of the module on the site;
- Clearing temporary files. Various failures can occur due to the cluttering of the system with useless and outdated files. To clear the partition, click Ctrl + Shift + Del. Be sure to select “Files saved in cache” and “Cookies...”. In the “Delete records:” section, select the “All time” option;
- If you cannot enable the Flash Player plugin in the Yandex browser because the error “could not load the plugin” is constantly displayed, you will have to manipulate the browser. The simplest way to restore functionality – refresh the browser on the “About Browser” page. If the method has no effect, you will have to reinstall the browser;
- Restoring the system if a failure occurred as a result of our actions or the operation of the program. In Windows 10, click on the search button next to the Start menu and enter “Recovery options.” Following the prompts, we roll back the system to a point where such a problem was not observed.
We recommend enabling Flash Player in the Yandex browser for most users, but we remind you that the technology is relatively vulnerable and is often used for tracking. If privacy and security are a priority, it is better to disable the player and use it only on trusted sites. With an emphasis on surfing comfort, the player must be active.
Despite Adobe's announced end of support for Flash in 2020, the plugin continues to be actively used in Internet browsers to deliver video content to users, and the multimedia platform is a common basis for web applications. In a popular one, the plugin is integrated, and usually pages that have Flash content are displayed without problems. If malfunctions occur in the platform, you should understand the reasons and apply one of the methods to eliminate the errors.
There may be several reasons for Flash Player not working in Yandex Browser, as well as ways to solve the problem. When considering the instructions described below, it is advisable to go step by step, following the recommendations one by one until a situation occurs in which failures and errors are not observed.
Browser errors that occur when trying to view Flash content on web pages are not necessarily caused by the failure of any software or hardware components of the system you are using. Quite often, multimedia content is not displayed properly due to problems with the web resource on which it is hosted. Therefore, before moving on to drastic ways to solve problems with Flash Player in Yandex Browser, you should make sure that the technology does not work globally when opening different web pages.
Reason 2: Flash Player is missing from the system
The first thing you need to check when you detect incorrect display of Flash content of web pages in Yandex Browser is the presence of platform components in the system. For some reason or by accident, Flash Player could simply be deleted.
Since Yandex Browser uses the PPAPI version of Flash Player, and the browser itself is built on the Blink engine used in , when downloading the component installer from the Adobe website, it is important to select the correct version of the package!
Reason 3: The plugin is deactivated
A situation where the platform is installed on the system, and the Flash Player plugin does not work in Yandex Browser, but functions normally in other browsers, may indicate that the component is disabled in the browser settings.
To fix the problem, follow the steps to activate Flash Player in Yandex Browser.
Reason 4: Outdated version of component and/or browser
Adobe constantly releases updated versions of the browser add-on in question, thus eliminating discovered platform vulnerabilities and solving other problems. An outdated version of the plugin, along with other reasons, may make it impossible to display Flash content on web pages.
Often, upgrading the plugin version in Yandex Browser occurs automatically and is carried out simultaneously with updating the browser, which does not require user intervention. Therefore, the simplest method to get the latest version of the add-on in question is to update your browser. The procedure is described in the article linked below, follow the steps of the instructions listed in it.
If malfunctions in the multimedia platform do not disappear after updating Yandex.Browser, it would be a good idea to check the plugin version and, if necessary, update it manually. To check if the Flash Player version is up to date:
If the number of the platform version available for installation is higher than the number of the installed plugin, update. A description of the process of updating the Flash Player version in automatic and manual mode is available in the material:
Reason 5: Plugin conflict
During the operation of Windows and the frequent installation of programs and/or system components, a situation may arise when the OS contains two types of the Flash Player plug-in - NPAPI and a component of the more modern and secure PPAPI type, which is supplied with Yandex.Browser. In some cases, components conflict, which leads to inoperability of certain elements of web pages in the browser. To check and eliminate this phenomenon, do the following:
Reason 6: Hardware incompatibility
The cause of errors when viewing multimedia content of web pages opened using Yandex.Browser and created using Flash technology may be hardware failures caused by incompatibility of individual components and software. To eliminate this factor, you need to disable the hardware acceleration used by Flash Player to reduce the load on the browser engine.
Reason 7: Incorrect operation of the software
If the above reasons for Flash Player not working after being eliminated do not change the situation, you should use the most drastic method - a complete reinstallation of the system software components involved in working with the platform. Reinstall both the browser and the Flash feature set by following these steps:
Thus, after following the recommendations outlined above, all problems with Adobe Flash Player in Yandex Browser should be a thing of the past. We hope that using one of the most popular Internet browsers and the most widespread multimedia platform will no longer cause trouble for the reader!
Fans of movies, music, and games cannot do without Flash Player in Yandex. Many resources for playing media content and graphics use this technology. It's a shame if Adobe Flash doesn't work. This problem needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the world of online entertainment will noticeably “dim” - all the resources of websites cannot be fully used.
If such an incident occurs in the Yandex browser on your PC, the plugin does not function, read this article. It describes in detail how to enable Flash player in the Yandex browser.
Standard browser settings
Enabling the plugin

Advice! You can edit predefined rules in exceptions for trusted web resources: change the action, delete.
Disabling the Flash filter
Sometimes Flash Player does not work on websites because the browser has a built-in add-on that blocks its operation. You can check the filter activation status as follows:
1. On the “Settings” tab, click “Add-ons” in the top menu.
Or click on the line with the same name in the main menu of your web browser.
2. In the “Security” section, in the “Flash Data Blocking” column, the switch should be in the “Off” position.

Update your browser:
1. In the Yandex menu, move the cursor to the last item “Advanced”.
2. In the submenu that drops down, click “About Browser”.
3. On the tab that opens, the update module will automatically launch: the browser will check for updates on the “native” server and download them if necessary.
4. After restarting your web browser, try playing flash content. If the player still does not work, follow these instructions.
Install or reinstall the Flash applet for Windows:
1. Go to the page - https://get.adobe.com/ru/flashplayer/.

Consistently diagnose the browser if Flash is disabled. Start by checking its default settings. If activation does not have the desired result, update Yandex and install the latest version of Flash. Also, for preventive purposes, it is recommended to check your computer for viruses.
Software developers provide programs with basic set preset parameters that are not always beneficial to the user. The same applies to Adobe Flash Player in the Yandex browser; the basic settings of the plugin are not suitable for everyone, so you often have to change the settings yourself. There are a lot of parameters that allow you to change the behavior of Flash Player: turn it on/off, make a list of exceptions, set permissions, etc.
How to change Flash Player launch settings in Yandex browser?
The most important and requested setting concerns the launch of the plugin. There are 3 ways to operate Flash Player in the Yandex browser:
- Runs on all sites;
- Works on sites added to the “white list” and not on the “black list”;
- Doesn't launch anywhere.
It’s easy to configure turning Flash Player on and off in the Yandex browser:
For more demanding Adobe Flash Player users, the Yandex browser provides an exceptions function. Here we can configure which sites the plugin will not work on and where it will run.
Adding and excluding sites from lists:
Local configuration of Flash Player in Yandex browser
In addition to changing the module launch parameters, we can make changes to the very way Flash Player works in the Yandex browser. All settings are divided into 2 groups:
- Local. They operate on one website and can be reconfigured here;
- Global. Allows you to change the behavior on all resources that use the player.
The easiest way to replace local settings is to right-click on any flash element on the site and select “Options”. This way you can configure:
- “Display” is a tab that allows you to enable hardware acceleration. It helps to process large amounts of data without freezing. We recommend keeping it turned on. Sometimes you have to turn off acceleration (if the player works poorly and slows down);
- "Confidentiality". The tab provides an important setting for Flash Player for the Yandex browser - access to external devices for sound perception and video capture. We may block or allow camera and microphone access to this site;
- Local storage. Most flash data requires storing the information on a computer in order to work. We can block the storage of information, but this will lead to incorrect operation of a number of sites. How applications use local storage:
- To store the movie cache. The browser downloads the video a few minutes in advance, saving it to the computer. Mostly the data is stored in the cache, but some parameters are also added to the player;
- To calculate and save user data in flash games. The storage contains certain achievements, constant values that make no sense to load regularly, numbers for calculating positions, damage, etc.;
- For user authentication. A session identifier is recorded in local storage, allowing us to be identified even after moving to another page on the site or after a short absence from the resource.
- Microphone. On the tab we can select which microphone is used as the main sound source, and also configure echo suppression and sound volume directly in the Yandex browser via Adobe Flash Player. By default, the volume is set to 50%;
- Camera. Here we can set which camera the module will use.
Global settings for Adobe Flash Player in Yandex browser
On the official Macromedia website there is a page for setting general settings. If you add a change here, it will apply to all sites. Set up correct work The page will help us. Also go to right place we can by right-clicking on the flash banner and selecting “Global settings”.
Some settings overlap with the previous paragraph, but there are also additional parameters.
What we can configure here:
- « Global Privacy Settings" Implies permission to access the user's camera and microphone. There are 2 options: “Always ask...” and “Always prohibit”;
- « Global Storage Options" Here we can set the amount of memory allocated for storing information by applications. By moving the slider, we can easily both disable the function and make the storage volume unlimited. Additionally, there is a setting to allow or block the addition of Flash content to the PC. In the “Save common Flash components...” column, it is better to check the box, this will help reduce the time it takes to load data;
- « Global Security Settings" Sometimes for the player to work on a website, it is necessary to download data from another resource. Mostly the action does not lead to a security breach, but certain vulnerabilities are present. To ensure maximum security, it is better to disable the function;
- « Playing protected content" Some materials are protected from distribution by copyright. By default, Adobe players store licenses on the computer and use them while processing protected data. If there is a failure with license processing, we can “Reset” the storage data, and their collection will begin again;
- « Website privacy settings" We can prohibit or allow individual sites to use a microphone or camera. On the tab, select the site and set permissions;
- « Website Storage Options" The setting is similar to global, but allows you to configure access to local storage for each resource individually. Additionally, on the page we can study the amount of space used by each site;
- « Peer-to-peer network settings" A number of sites use the P2P protocol to download content, that is, data is downloaded from the computers of other participants in the system. The protocol helps reduce the load on resource servers. We can prohibit or allow the opportunity for individual sites.
Important! If the settings panel is not displayed in place of the flash content, you need to launch the plugin. We should right click on the problem area and select “Run this module”.
In general, there are quite a lot of settings; everyone can personalize the module and make it as effective as possible. For example, in addition to the listed parameters, we can configure Flash Player in the Yandex browser to work on old, low-power computers by setting the image quality. Having made RMB on the flash player, hover the cursor over “Quality” and select “Low”, “Medium” or “High”.
