Xfinity Stream - How To Enable Flash on a Google Chrome Browser

Is Comcast planning for the day when Flash is no longer available in any form on any web browser?  When can PC users expect to see an Xfinity Stream website that doesn't use Flash at all?

 Adobe Flash player will soon be taken from Google Chrome support. How will people using Comcast be able to stream Movies and TV on their computer using Google Chrome after takes effect???

Flash doesn't work that well anyway, they should just go ahead and change it now.

And whill they're at it, restore the ability to set up recordings remotely, it's been TWO years since they said it was temporary.

flash is used to verify security (HDCP) of the stream not to actually play. that process is currently approved by the network programming providers. the remote recording issue is still not resolved in the patent court process.

I am and have been using the flash player- my question is that when Chrome no longer supports the Adobe flash player starting in December, how will we watch things on Comcast.??

Thank you for this helpful information.  Do you have any help for Microsoft Edge?  Every time I open Stream there, I must go through several steps to allow Flash.

Actually, this only started on Edge about two weeks ago.  It's really annoying.  

I just wish the would just move ahead and stop using flash.. why wait until the end... just move past it already... 

You charge enough money for your service as it is so spending a few dollars on a team to remove flash ASAP should not be an issue so stupid to wait until last minute so when something goes wrong.. and it most likely will... people will be without any streaming abilities. 

when i enable flash in chrome i get broken streaming on pc and pixels, anyone knows how to fix this?

I enabled flash as directed but the video portion of on demand is garbled.  Audio portion is fine, ut unable to watch due to distorted picture.  Any suggestions?  Worked fine up until about a week ago; hasn't worked since.  Thanks!

a new chrome version just came out today. upgrade and see if they fixed their problem.

I've followed the directions, exactly, as described and find the picture still flashes in and out. I've gone to the settings in Chrome and made xfinity a default user of flash,same result. Netflix, Hulu, Tubi, AMC, etc., only Xfinity gives me a problem, each and every time I use it.

yes the new version did not fix the issue. on another thread a regular poster here gave me a series to try and it would not play with hardware acceleration on and played badly with it off and i have a fast PC.
