Big fan of Plex and all the updates so far. There is honestly very little I would want you to improve on; I think you’re doing an awesome job with your product.

One thing I would really like to be able to do though is to post a banner message for users upon opening the app/logging in.  
Mostly, just so that I can provide a quick update on something I’ve added, or if the server will be off, etc. A window that could be viewed then closed.

Ultimately, I would like to have a way to message my users without directly sending each of them a message. Having this banner option would be awesome. I’m sure I’m not alone on this. Would love to see it implemented!

Thanks, everyone!

I agree, it would be useful considering the multiple bugs last times !!  
my distant users want ton know that a problem is not from their player or whatever

Seems to be a dupe of the popular feature request here: [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/51593/popular-send-server-messages](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/51593/popular-send-server-messages)

Really, this needs to be a feature soon.  
Thanks devs!

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate

> [@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
