Hi… is there a way to notify the friends that I share my server with of changes/updates i’m performing on my server? For example, have a message appear that states “My Plex server will be down from 1-3 for maintenance this weekend”.

No, that is not possible.

You could install [Tautulli](https://forums.plex.tv/t/tautulli-monitor-your-plex-media-server/225242/1 "Tautulli") and use one of its features to send out a mail or tweet or similar.

I suggest a new tool that has just started to become widely used: email. 😉

While there have been a smallish number of folks that have mentioned wanting this I think that existing tools outside of Plex performs the needed functionality quite well.
