Hey! Is it possible to develop a messaging system that the PMS owner can use to message their shared users with? Just for basic things like “Maintenance on Day/Month/Year” “Going offline for X days due to xxxxxxx” That sort of thing. Or Even a message from the PMS when it’s offline to all clients trying to connect to it. Rather than the client thinking it might be working but it’s actually not. At the moment, if i turn off. I get texts/emails telling me it’s not working. I’m just trying to make it easier for those of us who have a few clients attached! ---

I'm just trying to make it easier for those of us who have a few clients attached! I have been thinking about a need for a feature like this for the last few weeks. Definite +1 ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate (one of many) > [@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 ---
