I just received an e-mail about this new feature and I can’t figure out how to use it. I am using apple TV and/or iOS. In the FAQ, it says that you just go to the “more” option on each movie and there should be a “watch together” option. There isn’t, on my MAC/iOS or Apple TV. Does anyone know how t…

If they have a different e-mail try that or ask them to invite you and then you can share back.

How does this work for people who do not have servers? Can someone who accesses my server, watch together with other people who access my server? How is this friends list managed? (for people without a server)

There was some weird bug where iOS said that the app was at 7.0 on one of the devices, but it really wasn’t. I noticed that a bunch of apps were also out of date. It’s now updated and it appears at the top of the screen like @BigWheel mentioned.

If everyone has access to the same source, and are friends with each other, then they can start a session. As an example, if your partner and sibling both have access to your server, and are friends with each other in Plex, then they can start a Watch Together session with content from your server

You no longer need a server to be friends with someone in Plex :slight_smile:

sneaky. what about managed home users, are they automatically ‘friends’ with each other ? can they manage their own friend list, or are they tied to the admin user list ? what about un-managed home users, are the automatically ‘friends’ ? I would expect with their own plex account, they should b…

Anyone an account can see on the Users & Sharing page can be selected to watch together. Managed users can only see other Home users. Regular accounts in a home can maintain their own friends list

I still don’t see it. All of my apps are up-to-date… Apple TV and iOS, they actually both just had updates in the last day… I’ve closed out and restarted both and I don’t see this option on the home screen or in the more section on the movie
