Guide: Disabling Google Chrome's Built in Flash Player

A few issues with Google Chrome seem to be fixed when disabling the built in Flash Player and using the installed flash on your computer.  If you haven't installed a flash player, go to 
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ and select for other browsers, install as normal.

Disabling Chrome's built in flash:

1) Type chrome://plugins into your address bar

2) Using the Enable and Disable button, make your settings look somewhat like this, small things might vary, such as version and C:\users\administrator though. Green should be enabled and red should be disabled.

3) Clear your browsers cache and reboot Chrome. Press ctrl+shift+del (not backspace) to get to this menu:

This fix as been known to solve a few issues on Twitch with the video player and Google Chrome, let us know in this thread if it solved any problems! Success stories = win.

    what problems does google chrome cause with streaming and twitch?
  • ItakuItaku Moderator
    @dethzlol There's no specific problem with it, but we've seen a few problems with Google Chrome and Twitch has been caused by Google's built-in Flash Player.

    Likewise there are also a few glitches that can be fixed by disabling Adobe's flash plugin; It's best to test with either/or and see what happens. If flash is actually crashing while you have both enabled, it's usually a conflict between the two plugins and disabling either one will stop it.
