Allow Streaming Services in Discover for Managed Accounts

Discover is a great feature, especially for anyone who wants to make Plex their hub for all things media. However, there are some of us that don’t use our Admin account for general access and playback (given that some content may not be appropriate for all viewers in a home).

Allowing streaming service discovery (and the media therein) would allow these managed accounts to have access to search, select, and initiate playback.

This would ideally work WITH the request to fully disable discovery for all accounts, too.

Perhaps, similar to how libraries are managed today for managed accounts, a user could select “discovery” or “streaming services” to be added (or not) to a given managed account.

Thanks!
