It would be wonderful if we could make this happen …
Specifically in a somewhat reasonable time frame. Love all the new stuff. But this one almost falls into the category of a base feature that was missed. Those of us who run large servers servicing large groups of people need the ability to broadcast messages.
The 100+ emails you receive otherwise is problematic.

Instead of scheduled messages, just simply being able to log into Plex.tv and switching the server to “maintenance mode” with a customizable message for estimated downtime. The owner of the server would have access, but all clients get the maintenance mode message.
Exactly what i need.
+1 for this feature.
I love both ideas. Maintenance mode and ability to inform users about upcoming maintenance.
+1 for it.

Yes this! Why would you need to send annoying messages to people when you have this?
+1 Would like to see this feature, to inform others of down times or new content…
+1 custom messages to clients

Plex Devs: Please implement this feature. I purchased a lifetime membership because of the love I have for plex and its developers <3
I just started sharing my Plex server the other day and I assumed such a feature would have been integrated already. Hope to see this in the near future!
bumb. This needs to be done

This is a pay app. It’s not free, by any means.
There are enough free apps out there, that Plex could leverage to use for notifications. It hasn’t been put in yet…
PushBullet, PushOver, etc…
I just started sharing my library with my family and friends and I would also want to send them messages that would appear on their Plex to inform them of service downgrade or whenever it is offline. Having that type of feature is good to have. At least they won’t think its there connection and continue to tirelessly connect when its not them. A small custom message would prevent that. Or if they are having issues with a connection, they can reach out to the administrator via plex.
+1 for this feature… always feel bad about restarting the server when I know that remote folks are in the middle of a movie 
+1… good idea!
+1 … GREAT IDEA!
