Plex Watch Together

"Let's break it and see who gets mad" is a Musk method of doing things, not a good method of doing things. And Plex only words things vaguely so they won't get sued by people that bought into one service while they transition to a completely different type of service. Ask all the people that still don't have functioning live TV and DVR after 2 years

I am not trying to defend them, but I think any software application that intends to live on for many years or multiple decades does need to periodically re-evaluate what is important and what might no longer be.

In this case it's a relatively new feature so it's a little surprising, especially while many mainstream streaming apps are making the effort to add this to their own apps.

I think the one thing we can all agree on is the enshittification of Plex continues.

Regardless of when or if this feature request is added, there is going to be lots of opportunities to receive those of us that decide to leave Plex in search of a new product.

You're right, this is an excellent opportunity for emby to get those customers

Reason why people here thinks it's not a big demand for this is surely because users aren't even aware about this feature. This is a very new way of watching content together. If this was marketed by, for example, Netflix, it would become wildly popular.

I do this all the time with friends and family but with other apps, would be both amazing and great for Emby to implement this so, for example, all of my users on my server would do movie nights together, especially split families.
