    annoyed I paid for a lifetime membership and still couldn’t invite household members without paying for their licenses too

    Invite your users to your Plex Home and they would be able to use the majority of Plex Pass features…

      I did. iirc they couldn’t download media to watch during a trip or remotely stream. It was also cumbersome to make full external accounts.

        please explain, I haven’t seen anything specifically mentioned that Plex Home will change.

        Yes, you will need Plex Pass for remote streaming at the end of the month (only as admin for all of your users or every user needs Plex Pass or that new “watch” thingy).

            Yes, I am aware of those changes but what has this to do with Plex Home?

            From those changes, as long as you, the Server Admin, has Plex Pass, your Users would still be able to stream remotely without having Plex Pass themselves:

            When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee.

            And there is nothing being mentioned that sharing your Plex Pass features to your Plex Home Users will change in any way.
