Will everyone streaming from my server get the benefits or just me?
Is there really no email support?
I am a bit confused by this all, it seems unclear if I personally gets teh advantage or if all users of my server will. If it is the latter then it seems expensive, but the former would be good.
Specifically I want to know if I can let other people use apps if I buy premium.
The Plex Pass is tied to your Plex account. Some of the features are for servers under your account. These server features will be available to all users that have access to your server. They do not get Plex Pass features for their own servers if they have it. Account features such as the ability to activate the mobile apps can be shared to some users if you set up Plex Home, https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/203815766-What-is-Plex-Home-.
I still don’t understand.
If I buy plex pass, will other users than me have the ability to use apps?
My plex server is not at home, it is in germany or something. My users is friends. I don’t care about anyone elses server.
I want to know if there is any benefits for users of my server that I get plex pass.
Yes. But only if you set up the feature on your server called Plex Home, then share to the users by adding them to Plex Home as well. Sharing to them normally as you would if you didn’t have a Plex Pass, they will not get that ability.
One question… are you referring to the ability to get the Plex app for free or do you mean the channels you loaded on the server?
Just asking because this is commonly misconstrued.

I don’t really know what channels is either (you should really make a glossary or start using normal words).
The plex cellphone app doesn’t let me play more than a minute without buying the premium version, unless I have Plex Premium or whatever. I wondered who Plex Premium would apply to, if it was just me then it seems like a waste of money (the app is way cheaper than a subscription).
And I don’t really understand the other advantages of the subscription.
Plex Pass allows multiple users. Plex will track each users ‘progress’. You can control what each user can see. When a user opens Plex from an app, Plex will display ALL the users and they pick which user they are. Great for spouse and/or kids as they don’t need a Plex account for just local access to your server.
It also allows DVR functionality, if you have a HDHomeRun tuner. These are the two main reasons I have Plex Pass, multiple users and the OTA DVR functionality.
It has some other benefits, but these are the two reasons I went with Plex Pass.
if i pay for a premium account on one account and then invite someone else in another country deos the other person in another country need a Plexpass
No, he doesn’t. Remote access is not and never was attached to a Plex Pass.
