Plex Home is limited to 15 users  
Ref: [https://support.plex.tv/articles/203815766-what-is-plex-home/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/203815766-what-is-plex-home/)

And are you saying, that you have 100 people living in your house?

Curious. Is there a reason you do not define them under Sharing. The only issue I have with that is the Live TV and DVR Access. Would be nice if Shared Users had the same access as Home Users if I gave it to them.

From the link I provided:

`For instance, there might be a family of users (parents and children) that all use Plex on various devices connected to the same Plex Media Server in their house.`

So only members of the same household is supposed to use a Home!

You’ll have to ask your family not living in your house to create a free account on plex.tv, so you can share with them as regular users

First of all, the Home user limit was put in to prevent abuse, and you, IMHO, just proved that it was wise that Plex did so.

Plex provides a free server, as well as when having a Plex Pass, free apps for up to 15 people, what more did you expect for the amount of money you paid?

And…Even developers needs to pay rent, buy food and provide for their family, so yes, when it goes beyond the limit, people has to pay

Huh…The apps are identical regardless of been signed into a Plex Pass user, or a non-plex pass user! But with a non Plex Pass user, there’s some limitations

Sad to see you go then, but good luck with Emby then

I have some bad news for you then. Even with a premiere subscription from emby, you’re limited to 25 devices (not users). You need to pay extra for more devices.
