What if you and your friends could watch the same content together at the same time (AKA a Plex Party).

I don't have the first idea on how to start this & if this is the right forum section.

&nbsp;

Basically invite your friends myPlex ID & start a "Watch Room" with them.

&nbsp;

Just an idea I had and thought it would be fun.

&nbsp;

I would love to hear what you guys & gals think.

Would honestly be pretty sweet. I don't see it being a massive issue to implement either, the server already streams the same concurrent video format to one user, the only time i would see this as being complicated and very iffy is if all clients need to transcode in different format
