Is there a way to get videojs to detect if there is no flash player installed and prompt the user to install it? I have been through the docs and try to use techOrder but it didn't work.

You may or may not want/need to do that, because the major browsers are dropping support for flash-plugins. [But, maybe I miss-understand the full context of your question. I'm assuming that you're also sourcing an alternate video file of a more common technology, such as MP4 or WebM, etc. !?!?] – David Mar 14 '17 at 20:49

Use one of these (How can I detect if Flash is installed and if not, display a hidden div that informs the user?) methods – not anything specifically to do with the videojs "techorder". That's for silently falling back to use an alternate tech:
By default Video.js performs "Tech-first" ordering when it searches for a source/tech combination to play videos. This means that if you have two sources and two techs, video.js will try to play each video with the first tech in the techOrder option property before moving on to try the next playback technology.
