A scenario where a household with 2 people both with plex on tablet plus a rasplex connected to the tv can generate a lot of frustration when both watch the same shows. If they share a single account, the “watched/unwatched” can be difficult to track, if they use different accounts it’s impossible. A joint account would be awesome. Each log in with own account on the iPads and with the joint account on rasplex. When X watches an episode on her iPad, that episode appears as “watched by X” on the rasplex but as unwatched on the Y iPad. On the rasplex the account can be switched so, X or Y can use own account to watch “solo” the shows on TV. This would work with 2 people as with 3 it can get quite complicated… ---

Really??? I didn’t realised it works like a joint account… I will sure have a look. Thanks Edit: unfortunately plex home is NOT what I need/want… In plex home individual users will see their own “seen” status for each episode/movie… ---

One way to solve this is for the preplay screen to have a section where it shows “Watched by:” and a list of people in your plex home who have watched it. However, users should need to opt in to that so privacy can be preserved if desired. ---

… and when logged in on the joint account and resuming a movie you would be presented with options to resume from either users or start fresh… That would be really awesome… ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@\[Feature Request\] Allow Multiple Users to Viewing Session // mod: joint watching on same device](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-allow-multiple-users-to-viewing-session/131160): > > The Problem: My wife and I watch 80% of our media together. For stuff we watch together, we use my account so that it ends up watched for me, but not for her. Her account’s watch list ends up being inaccurate because it is too hard to continue to manually adjust the watched states for all the media she watches with me together. As a result, one of our watch lists will always be only 50% useful. Creating a “joint account” does not solve the problem and adds additional work and complexity to m… ---
