We do not break user space! It is understood that Watch Together has been abandoned in favor of updates no one has or is asking for. (Perhaps the developers just don’t like their technological dependents, i.e. children/parents/grandparents/in-laws). However, given that it is one of the only ways t…

Thank you @BigWheel for your response and suggestion (vote has been added a long time ago), but this request is not actually regarding Watch Together as a server feature.

Still there in the server part though.

And how does that help with getting ode onto the Roku app?

What the heck? Why would they ever forcibly remove the one feature that most people pay for? Even when they invite me there’s no option to join anymore. Both of us are premium users! If this doesn’t return soon I’ll be forced to move to an alternative service that doesn’t suck.
