I searched but didn't find a request. So sorry if this is a duplicate. On a Roku, and assume this applies to other devices, is to configure which user accounts show up on the main screen. For example: I have my main plex account, one for each of my kids for their iOS devices, a parent local…

I am also wondering if this can be done. I setup a new user with my real name and would like to hide the forum username.

My suggestion would be for Plex to show only the accounts that have been used on that device recently with an option to show all accounts.

The point of Plex Home is to be able to switch easily between accounts. If you hide them, you can’t switch to them anymore, which goes against the idea of Plex Home. If you don’t want other accounts showing up, you can use a regular Friend account and just share to that. No more other users to wo…

I hate the fact that your forum username is what shows up. Not sure who came up with such a dumb idea. I want to see my real name. People come over and ask who is Deihmos.

@beckfield I created a home user with my real name because there is no other way to do it and wanted to hide my forum name from the login screen.

Sorry for the very late reply! I have my server setup with Home accounts. Family, Kids, etc… It would be great to hide the one that is my main plex user account from the login screen (i.e., my forum name). I only use that to manage my server, never for streaming content. But as I’m typing this, I ca…
