I think it might be nice to be able to flash a notification or group instant message to all my family members, or for others everyone on their PLEX server, about a group video watch or system downtime or recommendation. I usually text everybody individually about anything to do with the server but I think it would be easier just to send one message to everyone. ---

A feature suggestion already exists which covers this. > [@Send server messages](https://forums.plex.tv/t/send-server-messages/23773): > > It would be great as a PlexPass user to unlock a feature to send messages to the viewers. Information on planned maintenance (running every 20min or so) Restart information (one time message) and so on. This would be nice to have when you have a shared server. Vote on the poll, and maybe give a comment in suggestions to make this feature request better. Best regards Sleepwalker ---
