Today it is difficult to find a user who would not use at least one of the most common social networks today. There are many reasons for this, but it is their convenience and effectiveness in finding old school friends or fellow students from the university that plays the most important role.
In short, there are many reasons for their widespread use. Our users also enjoy the opportunity to watch all kinds of videos that are laid out there: from the latest news of the film industry to funny videos with friends. The most common service in our area is VKontakte, but there are also a lot of fans of Odnoklassniki.
About video issues ...
There are not so many video files in the latest social network, but there are more problems with them. In any case, regular users are often worried about the same question: “Why doesn’t the video show in Odnoklassniki?” However, do not rush to blame the developers: as official statistics show, most fans of this social network are not advanced computer users, and therefore mastering the browser for them is already a great achievement.
So why doesn’t the video show in Odnoklassniki? As you can understand, most often the reasons are very simple and banal.
Checking Flash Player
It often turns out that the user has no idea about the need to install a Flash player, but without it you can’t see a single video for sure. To install it, you need to go to the official website and download the installation file. Next, right-click on it, and in the context menu that appears, select the option “Run as administrator”.
Following the prompts of the installation program, we complete the installation. Fortunately, for this you only need to click the “Next” button with the left mouse button. We restart the browser, again go to the site and enjoy watching videos.
You can do even easier. If you are not at all confident in your user talents, we suggest you download the Google Chrome browser. What are its advantages? Firstly, it is automatically updated, so you can not monitor the relevance of versions at all. Secondly, and much more importantly, it already has a built-in Flash, so this problem also disappears by itself.
But why doesn’t it show video in Odnoklassniki if there is already a player in your system?
Updating Flash Version!
Alas, you will have to remember that it is important not only to have this software on your computer, but also to monitor the relevance of its releases. In general, there is nothing complicated about this. As a rule, the next time you restart your computer, the system will warn you that there is an updated version of Flash. You just have to click on the “Download” button, and then click on the “Next” button a couple of times.
But in recent years, users often prefer laptops, and they may not restart for months. And therefore, if the site shows you a message like: “You need to update the version of the Flash player,” you must again visit the official Adobe site, download the latest release from there, and then install it. We already talked about the methodology of such an installation in the very first part of the article.
Watch the browser!
More precisely, again, for its version. If you continue to use IE 6 or something similar, then you won’t have to think long about why Odnoklassniki doesn’t show the video. Today, almost no popular resource supports older versions of browsers, and therefore you will have to download and install something more modern.
If you missed one of the above, then we recommend Google Chrome again, as it updates itself.
Graphics card drivers
It is extremely rare, but sometimes it happens, in Odnoklassniki it does not show video due to problems with the video card drivers. Suppose you have just such a problem. First, it is worth checking whether this software is installed on your computer in principle?
To do this, right-click on the “My Computer” icon, and then select the “Properties” item in the context menu that appears. In the window that opens, you should pay attention to its left part: there is the item “Device Manager”.
Click on this item with the left mouse button and see: are there any suspicious exclamation marks in the list that appears in front of you? If not, and the item “Video adapters” is on the list, then everything is in order, there are no problems with the drivers.
If everything is just the opposite, they will have to be installed independently. Make it easy. First, try to do this: click on the item with an exclamation mark with the same right mouse button, and then select "Properties" in the context menu. A dialog box pops up. In it, select the "Driver" tab. Next, click the "Update" button.
A dialog box will appear in which you need to left-click on the button “Automatically search for updated drivers”. The system itself will find and install everything. Important! For everything to succeed, it is extremely important that you have a normal Internet connection, because otherwise you can’t download anything for sure.
By the way, how is the connection?
If you suddenly stopped showing the video in Odnoklassniki, it makes sense to check your Internet connection. Perhaps, for half an hour there has been no signal from the provider, and are you all trying to watch your favorite movie?
In the event that such a gloomy guess is confirmed, you will have to contact the technical support of your provider and find out all the details of the disaster. Perhaps the problems are on his side, but do not forget about the possible malfunctions of your router or modem.
Speaking of modems. If you use a USB whistle, it is very advisable to set “Priority of 3G connection” in the settings, as otherwise (the signal has been tested more than once in practice) the signal will confidently “slide” onto EDGE.
If third-generation networks in your area are not found in principle, then the situation when the video does not work in Odnoklassniki will be typical: 2G speed is simply not enough for normal video loading. You will either have to try another mobile operator, or even abandon the idea of ​​using a social network as a movie theater.
That's why the video in Odnoklassniki does not play. As you can see, the problem is quite possible to help.
