How do I create 2 Plex severs (different computers) on 1 account?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

I have 2 computers on the same network (My wife and Mine).
I want Plex Media Server on both computers but under 1 Plex account, so that when we log in from the Plex TV app on our Chromecast, we can see both servers, hers and mine,.

Is this possible?

Mine is setup already. I have libraries created. I installed PMS on her computer and logged in to my account, I don’t see an option to create a new server on her computer.

I can’t add additional libraries from her hard drive. Whenever I try, It shows my hard drive files.

if it is running It should ask you to claim it if it is not already. if it is claimed/signed into under her account then she need to create and share the libraries under her account then share with your account

are you sure you installed plex media SERVER, or did you install plex media PLAYER ?

is there a little plex logo on her computer down by the clock ?

download PMS @ https://www.plex.tv/downloads make sure you choose server not player ?

I got it working.

I uninstalled PMS, deleted cookie, then reinstalled it on my wife’s computer. I didn’t log in (with either of our accounts) when asked to in the beginning of the setup and proceeded to add libraries to create a server. After the libraries were set, I then logged in within PMS on her computer using my account and it allowed me to claim the server.

I think there should be an option to create new server on the local computer inside the Plex settings.
