Sites like this may not respond to you for a variety of reasons. One of which, and perhaps the most common, is a poor-quality Internet connection. Or a banal video hosting overload due to a large number of users or a DDOS attack. Rutube also doesn't work if you have AdBlock ad blocker or similar apps installed.
Problems with Flash Player
This problem occurs for novice users. Imagine that "Rutube" (Rutube) video hosting is an integral mechanism of a tower clock and in order to launch it, you need a person who would start it. So, Flash Player is such a watchmaker. It allows you to turn on the video and watch it in good quality.
You can download it on the Internet or the official website of Adobe. It also happens that you have a "Flash player", but not the current version. In this case, you are usually offered to update directly in the application. Or go to Rutube andtry to watch the video, you will see a notification that your "Flash player" is outdated and needs to be updated.
Rootub doesn't work anyway, what should I do?
This means that there are problems with ad blockers. Most likely, you have installed a browser extension like AdMuncher, AdBlock, and similar utilities. The fact is that video hosting works thanks to advertising injections into it. It is she who provides the Rutuba employees and the operation of their servers.
And by not viewing ads, you deprive them of their hard-earned money, and they will no longer have anything to support their site. With this money, they are doing their best to improve the site system and, as it is popular to do now, they will be able to release an application for mobile phones.
Disabling ad blockers

- In the window, find "Show ads on a web page or domain".
- Enter the site address
- Confirm the action by clicking on "OK!".
- Refresh the page using the keyboard key F5.
These actions do not affect the blocking in any wayadvertisements on other sites. It will also be blocked on resources not related to Rutube.
No ad blocker, but Rutube doesn't work
First, check if you have completed the 6th step. If so, try closing and reopening your browser. Restarting the computer can help, usually it always helps. Check again if your version of Flash Player is new.
If all the above methods did not help, then be sure to write to technical support about your problem. To do this, go to the Rutuba website, open any video and a button with gears will appear in front of you. Right-click on it and select "Submit Bug Report".

Other problems
