Apologize if this is already available but I don't think so... also sorry if it has been suggested, but it is tough to search for so I couldn't find anything.

&nbsp;

Basically, I think it would be nice to have the ability to leave notes/announcements for all users or even specific users. Example - my family all uses my Plex Server to watch home videos in the library and connect to it all of the time. I would like to be able to notify them that the server will be down while I am out of town (or replacing computer, etc.) Yes, I realize I could simply email them but for somebody with a ton of users, I think this would be handy. Another example - if you add a really bad movie you could leave a note to the effect of 'I haven't seen this, but Joe wanted it added.'

&nbsp;

Anyway - just thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks devs - keep up the great work.&nbsp;

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate

> 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
