Quick answers
Is this really free?
Yes! You don't need to pay anything. When you create your Plex account, you may see ads for "Plex Pass" -- that's an optional upgrade you do not need. Just skip past it.
What can I watch?
Everything the server owner has shared with you. This typically includes movies, TV shows, and sometimes music or photos. Browse the library to see what's available.
Do I need to download anything?
Not necessarily. You can watch in any web browser at app.plex.tv. For the best experience on a TV or mobile device, you'll want the free Plex app -- see the Devices guide.
Who do I ask if something isn't working?
Reach out to the person who invited you. They manage the server and can help troubleshoot.
