    Can't view videos on facebook


    I can view videos on youtube perfectly fine. However, when I try to view a video on facebook it tells me I need to install Adobe Flash Player. When I click on "Install Adobe" it redirects me to a page that says I already have windows 10 and flash player is integrated into windows 10 so I cannot install it. It also suggested that maybe my shockwave add-on wasn't enabled but it is. I also tried disabling the Active-X add-on. It didn't work. Is there any other reason why videos on facebook wouldn't be working?
    *Huh


    I have an HP Stream 11 running Windows 10
    It is brand new- just arrived yesterday

    :)

    Hmm, that's interesting. Yours probably has a plugin or something that will let you do it. Though, it would probably help if we knew what phone he was using. Then we would know if he can or not. Because I've tried on my E63, and it won't work. But since
    yours is an Nseries, its probably different.

    I did say earlier that i have a nokia 5800 and as far as im aware it already has real player installed so looks like

    thats a no no [/i]

    Your best bet is to ask the folks who use HP Stream 11. They should know about the tablet/PC inside out and migh have a trick or 2 to help you.
