Watch together all remote users still can pause and seek the video

Hi there,

I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask, so apologies if not but my question is this, when having a watch together party with some friends, it is frustrating when any of the remote watchers can pause, and fast forward or rewind the video playing. Can there be a way to restrict navigating through the film solely down to the user hosting the watch together party?

If it is already possible to do this, please can you tell me how, I am a monthly plex pass user, and have just started to use this feature with some friends in different countries, and aside from this frustration I have to say that the feature works fantastically.

I hosted a watch together with 8 people, I am in the UK, there were others from US, Canada and Sweden. It just worked, after the initial syncing when everyone started watching, it was flawless… well until people started rewinding and pausing it, much to the annoyance of others who were glued to the film lol.

Anyway, thanks for your help in this matter, I hope there is a way already but if not I hope it makes it soon, this would certainly help a bunch of people out I reckon.

I don’t believe there’s a way to restrict who can manipulate the video

It tells you the name of the person who is doing it though. I think I might forget to invite them next time
