Sorry if I am repeating this but I searched forums and couldn’t find anything and maybe there is a feature already in place and I’m just silly. Like many of you I share my media collection to a select few individuals, my only problem is that if anything happens (server updates, computer restarts, away on vacation) I start to get texts and calls or emails just asking if the server is having problems or something like that. I would love for a way to communicate to with anyone going on my server with a little announcement saying I’m away on vacation or all day updates be back tomorrow. It’s not that these people complain but I did ask them to let me know if they have any problems, bad idea I know. Thanks ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@Send server messages](https://forums.plex.tv/t/send-server-messages/23773): > > It would be great as a PlexPass user to unlock a feature to send messages to the viewers. Information on planned maintenance (running every 20min or so) Restart information (one time message) and so on. This would be nice to have when you have a shared server. Vote on the poll, and maybe give a comment in suggestions to make this feature request better. Best regards Sleepwalker ---
