If you are using Google Chrome web browser then you might be aware of the fact that sometimes you can’t view YouTube videos from chrome with a message that reads: “Sorry the video is no longer available”. This is due to the flash player issue, though you have flash player installed on your computer and the YouTube videos works perfectly in other browsers like Firefox, Opera, then why does the flash plugin player doesn’t support Chrome browser?
This is due to the incompatible nature of chrome with the new Macromedia Flash player.
So here is quick fix for those who want to watch youtube videos on Google chrome. Basically we are going to remove/uninstall the old Adobe flash player from all browser and install other version of Macromedia adobe flash player plugin.
Installing Adobe Flash Player on Google Chrome
First: download the Flash player uninstaller file and uninstall the current flash plugin from your system. Here are the un-installers:
- Download the Windows Uninstaller
- Download the Mac OS X Uninstaller
- Download the Mac OS 8.x, 9.x Uninstaller
Adobe has the updated Flash player 10 beta for Windows and Mac. So download them and install the flash player once again. Of course, close all the closer while doing so and after the set up – restart the system.
Open youtube videos on Chrome. Viola! You can watch videos now 
This worked for me and hopefully will work for every chrome user! If you are unable to get the Youtube videos working on Google chrome or any other flash content then here is another guide to have Google chrome Adobe flash player working!

I am using Ubuntu Linux. Chrome OS is a linux operating system. I am surprised you left out us Linux users. However being geeky I will try to solve it myself.
