I am trying to insert a video in my PowerPoint presentation. A message pops " You will need to upgrade Adobe Flash Player before using this option.. Press OK to install the latest player, or Cancel to return to your presentation" I click ok and it takes me to a trouble shooting instruction that I followed and it din't work for me. Can you help me?

With that said, Adobe is end-of-lifing Flash Player at the end of 2020.  We highly recommend you migrate to a different technology solution for your project.

This is not true.  Flash is fully supported until December 2020 when Flash is end-of-lifed.  You've been asked before to stop spreading these lies. Please stop else you'll be reported to the forum admins.

 

New versions are posted to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.  Most recent release is version 32.0.0.330 released Feb 11, 2020.

Hi Maria, you are correct. The official date from adobe is December. Most of the articles online i read just say as of 2020 is done, they did not offer a date.
