I used to be able to view videos online (logged into arlo.netgear.com), but now both Chrome and Firefox both are showing the 'newer version of flash is required' message - but both are completely up to date.

Given that everyone is trying to get away from Flash, I realized that I had to explicitly enable it for https://arlo.netgear.com

Solution for Chrome: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-chrome.html

Firefox doesn't have the same site specific whitelisting capability, so I decided I'd just use Chrome.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

 

Note to Netgear product manager: PLEASE get rid of the requirement for Flash! The movement to ditch Flash is old news!

That's strange. Mine works fine. What versions of each are you running?

Firefox 53.0.3, 32 bit (Windows 10 Home 1703 on this Surface 3 tablet I'm testing on) gives the warning on the Devices page and will not play a live stream. However, recorded sessions on the Library page will play.

Chrome 59.0.3071.86, 32 bit acts the same unless I add https://arlo.netgear.com to the whitelist on chrome://settings/content
