A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@disable transcoding (per user setting)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/disable-transcoding-per-user-setting/86588/1): > > Hi,   I would love to have a feature that would allow me to disable transcoding on a per-user base. I share my media amongst some users but I have to ask them to only directplay (using the plex theatre app on PC/MAC) because otherwise after 4 concurrent sessions my CPU starts to give up ...   thanks for considering !   edd--     Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).
