flash player alternative

[TonyGreen1965]

I have a mac and now that flash player is no longer available i am unable to record a video for a job application.

Is there any alternative?

There are many ways to record videos that don't need Flash. The one you have can no longer be used.

If you're using video recording website from the potential employer, there's nothing you can do.  The potential employer needs to find new video recording software.

If you're using you're own video recording software, as OP mentioned there's other options avaialble.

For completeness:

Adobe announced Flash Player's end-of-life in July 2017 giving content creators, programmers, developers, IT experts, etc over 3 years remove Flash Player dependencies from their products. All modern browsers provide the capabilities necessary to do this in JavaScript.  This is an investment and prioritization choice, not a technical limitation.
