In the context of Emby, sharing content with other users can be a very useful tool for enjoying movies, series, or music together. With that in mind, could you explain how to share a link in Emby using this user feature?

That's a great question. I can't figure it out either. I've turned on the option on my user account but can't find where to generate or copy those links. I looked in both the web app and the iOS app.

I did find this blog entry from when the feature was introduced. Apparently something has changed since then.

Hi.  As mentioned in the referenced announcement, that feature does not share actual media with anyone.  is that what you were wanting to do?

Not sure about the OP, but I know it doesn't do that. But I can't find where to generate/copy the link to share that points to the static media info as shown in the blog post.

Here is the image from the post. How do you open that share dialog? The dialog itself kind of obscures whatever it looks like or used to look like underneath, but I can't find any button, for example, that opens that dialog.

Here is what I see for a movie. (I've clicked the ... option on the right so I can see all of the options.)

And here is the setting that shows my user has permission to use the feature.

It's not a critical feature for me. I was just wondering too once the OP asked.

Greetings @ebr,

I do not wish to share media directly. What I am looking for is what @harrvsuggests: being able to share a link with some users that takes them to the desired movie on Emby. For example, sending the link of a movie that is on my Emby server to one of my users, so that when they open the link, the movie opens in their Emby application, whether on Android or Windows. Of course, this person must be logged into my Emby server beforehand.
