Netflix says to install the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in

If you're trying to watch Netflix and one of these things happens:

  • Netflix says to install the Microsoft Silverlight Plug-in
  • Netflix brought you to this article instead of playing a TV show or movie

It's because your current browser version is out of date and uses the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in to play Netflix. Microsoft no longer supports this plug-in.

To keep watching Netflix, you'll need to update your browser to a version that supports HTML5:
