Cannot allow friends to see my watchlist?

[sspl3]

I want to be able to see my friend’s watchlists so that I can add movies they want to watch. But for some reason while I can easily follow the steps here to find my privacy settings and allow my friends to see my watchlist, my friends do not see that.

To figure out what’s happening, I got on my testing account and when I click “view profile” all I see is my name and profile picture, and My Friends, but not My Watchlist, My ratings, My History, etc. I would obviously need these settings in order to make my watchlist public.

What my main account sees under “My Profile”:

What my test account sees under “My Profile”:

This seems insane. While I suppose the difference could be that my main account has a plex pass and my test account doesn’t, it doesn’t say anywhere that these features are paywalled. And is it really necessary that you have a plex pass just to allow others to see your watchlist? And when I try to see my friends watchlist’s it doesn’t say “they don’t have a plex pass” it says “they have set their watchlist to private” so I assume there must be some setting somewhere that I am missing.

Does anyone know what to do about this?

Hi, your main account is part of the Discover Together beta programme, which is why you can see your profile with watchlist, watch history etc. Currently it’s available only to Plex Pass users, however you are able to enrol your friends to the programme even if they don’t have a Plex Pass.

Go to https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/friends and make sure your friends are listed here. Then go to https://www.plex.tv/discover-together-beta/ and enrol your friends. Once they are enrolled, they will be able to see the same features as you, set their privacy settings etc.

Thanks so much! This is very helpful. I would make the suggestion that you may wish to include some mention of this on the profile help page. I’ve signed up all my friends and it works perfectly now!
