It'll depend on if you have published with HTML5 content enabled in your publish settings or not. If you did - then they'll be defaulted to the HTML5 content as Chrome is a supported browser for Storyline and Studio. If you didn't include the HTML5 - then they'll likely see it was disabled and they'll be able to enable Flash. As far as if it's a prompt, I believe so - but haven't read the official Google statements in some time, and I would defer to that versus external media sources.
We've been publishing all courses with HTML5 for years now. If anything publishing with Flash should be optional ;-)
I'm concerned that today when Chrome doesn't want to run Flash directly from my desktop, it DOES NOT rollover into HTML5. The fix is to enable local storage as a safe place to run flash.
Is Articulate confident that come December when Chrome blocks flash from running on the web that SL2 will roll over to HTML5 without learner having to reconfigure flash storage as safe?
So that's why it's not rolling over to HTML5, as all those files aren't loaded up to a web server or LMS. As far as December and what's in store for the future, HTML5 output has been a priority for our team, and I hope to be able to share some additional information with you all soon about what that will look like.
I can certainly understand that Sam - and we'll continue to keep folks posted about any updates or changes to our set up as well as our engineers are continuing with a focus on HTML5.

Hi Sam,
Chrome running Flash from the desktop is a different issue entirely as detailed here, and as a reminder we've always recommended uploading to a web server or LMS as mentioned here.

Good to know. It would be a bad situation if courses deployed on the web would not run for enterprise customers using Google Chrome this December.
