Adobe's Flash player comes automatically installed and enabled on Chrome. The browser automatically updates the player. Keeping Flash enabled allows you to play simple games, watch videos, view animated graphics and use some complex websites. Some advertisers use Flash to serve ads. To keep Flash Player enabled but avoid these ads, install a flash blocker extension that lets you selectively turn Flash on one website at a time.

For multimedia redirection to work, there are two parts to install on your session hosts: the host component and the browser extension for Edge or Chrome. You install the host component and browser extension from an MSI file, and you can also get and install the browser extension from Microsoft Edge Add-ons or the Chrome Web Store, depending on which browser you're using.

You can install the multimedia redirection extension using Group Policy, either centrally from your domain for session hosts that are joined to an Active Directory (AD) domain, or using the Local Group Policy Editor for each session host. This process will change depending on which browser you're using.

Once you've installed the extension, you can check its status by visiting a website with media content, such as one from the list at Websites that work with multimedia redirection, and hovering your mouse cursor over the multimedia redirection extension icon in the extension bar on the top-right corner of your browser. A message will appear and tell you about the current status, as shown in the following screenshot.

I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store. I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it. Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

Hello jscher2000. Thank you so much for your reply. i tried this. I followed your directions, note that what you called filter was labeled search on my computer. I was able to change value to true on "load-appdir etc. and restarted computer and firefox. I checked to see that the value was still on true after restart. I did not see the windows media plug in on my list of plug ins. I was not able to hear my conference because the window still said I needed a plug in for my browser. It may be that I am not doing the download correctly. I am sent to interoperability bridges download site. I click on download, it asks me to allow change on hard drive. I accept I get a welcome to windows media player download site. I click on next and get a screen that asks me if I want to change repair or remove. What do I do then. I have tried repair and that doesn't seem to work. If I try change, I don't know what to change to. The net result is that now I have a value that says true, but the plug in is still not on my list of plug ins that I find after I click on tools/add ons/ plug ins. Any thing I am doing wrong? By the way, how do I get back to this question from the support home page? 2b1af7f3a8
