  How to share Plex with friends?


  To share content in Plex, if you meet the requirements, the first thing you'll need is a user within the system.  All you have to do is create a free account from their official website.  When you're done, you have to find the movie, episode, or show you want to share, and then:


      Click on the three dots that allow you to enter the menu for that content

      Select the Show Together option

      A new screen will appear, where you can select the friends to add to the session (if none of them appear, they may not have an account yet. You will need to create one)

      When you've added them all, tap Done, in the upper right corner

      Little by little, you will see how the content storage in your account begins

      After a few seconds you will be able to click start, thus sharing content


  Keep in mind that after that, you can control playback as if you were the only person watching the video.  On the right of the screen, you will see the connected users, and the content will always be synced.  This means, for example, if you pause it for yourself, you pause it for everyone.


  Considering that Plex has long offered a wide range of free movies and TV shows, this is undoubtedly an excellent option for those who want to have fun with their loved ones from a distance.


  And you, have you already tried Plex Watch Together?  How was your experience?
