Plex #1 – Account Creation
  1. Navigate to the Plex sign-up page and click “Create an Account“: https://www.plex.tv/sign-up

  2. You do not need to add any streaming services. Click “X“.
  3. Go to your email inbox and verify your Plex account by clicking the link in the email from Plex.
  4. In the top right hand corner of the page, click on your account avatar and choose “Account Settings“.

  5. Under the “Personal Information” section, you may “Edit” your username to whatever you desire.

  6. Under the “Settings” section, you should enable watch state syncing. This allows you to pick up where you left off if switching devices.

  7. Under the “Preferences” section, you should edit your marketing email settings to “Unsubscribe from ALL” as they are enabled by default.


  8. You’re finished the base set-up. You can now send me either your Plex username, or the email you signed up with through text, Discord, etc.
  9. I will grant you access to my Plex library, and you must accept the invitation to my library by clicking the link you get from the invite that Plex will send.

Congrats, you now have access to my Plex library! I highly recommend checking out the next guide (Plex #2 – Video Quality Settings) which will show you some settings you can change so that you’re always streaming in the best quality (it defaults to 720p unless you change it in the settings).
