Plex has launched a Movie and Show Reviews feature that lets users share their thoughts with friends and even friends of friends. The new feature aims to add a fresh social twist to the streaming experience. As of today, Plex users can review any movie, show, season, or episode, adding a new dimension to experiencing content.
What You Need to Know About Plex Reviews
Whether you want to rave about a gripping thriller or gently critique the latest season of your favorite show, Plex’s now makes sharing opinions easier than ever. Here’s how it works:
- Seamless Review Sharing: Users with registered Plex accounts can write reviews on any movie or show. These can be viewed by their friends and extended Plex circle. There’s no reason to worry about revealing too much in the reviews. Plex lets users tag comments with a spoiler warning, ensuring that no unexpected plot twists are accidentally shared.
- Future Expansion Plans: This launch is just the start. Plex has announced a future update that will allow users to share reviews with the broader Plex community at large.
Getting Started: Simple Steps to Share Your Reviews
If you’re ready to dive in, here are the essentials:
- Devices Supported: Reviews can be created through Plex Web and Mobile apps, making it easy to jot down your thoughts as soon as you finish watching. All reviews are accessible on any Plex-compatible device, so friends can read your take whether they’re on mobile, desktop, or their home streaming setup.
- Requirements: Enable the “Sync Watch State & Ratings” feature if you’re reviewing from a personal media library. Users will need a verified email to create reviews, ensuring a safe and authentic space for discussions.
- Control Over What You See: Want to stick to critic reviews only? Or maybe you’d like to see a mix of friends’ thoughts and professional insights? You can control which reviews appear on each show’s detail page by visiting Settings > Account > Ratings and Reviews and selecting options like “Plex users & critics,” “Plex users only,” or “No one.”
Shape the Future: Public Reviews Beta Program
Plex isn’t just rolling out the friends-only reviews. Users interested in helping shape this feature can apply for early access to the upcoming Public Reviews beta. Spots are limited, so those keen on influencing the Plex experience can apply via the provided Public Reviews Beta Application.
With this community-focused feature, Plex is building a new social element into streaming. This new take on classic recommendations makes it easier for users to connect over shared tastes and insights. Whether you’re swapping thoughts with friends or gearing up for a broader reach, Plex’s latest addition is all about bringing people closer through what they love to watch.
