Question 5

Do I need a Plex account?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to create an account to use Plex, but you get more when you do.

It’s free and easy. Just create your free Plex account, and you can add movies to your own universal Watchlist, add favorite channels to your live TV lineup, personalize your streaming services, and more.

Question 7

What is Plex Pass? And can I use it to watch Plex ad-free?

Accepted Answer

Plex Pass is our premium subscription option designed for our users looking to get the most out of their own personal media via their Plex Media Server.
