I used to have a play store account with an activated version of the plex app. Google chose to ban it for whatever mysterious reasons they have and I wanted to activate the app again but I can’t figure out how you’re supposed to do it. This article is incredibly unhelpful given it doesn’t tell me where I find the activation screen.

The support article seems outdated, you can find it in the home screen’s overflow menu: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/5/a/7/5a780f853d4c8971be9f59c74dc871d09419dcf2.jpeg) ---
