What is Plex?
Plex gives you one place to find and access all the media that matters to you. From personal media on your own server, to free and on-demand Movies & Shows, live TV, podcasts, and web shows, to streaming music, you can enjoy it all in one app, on any device. We use this software to share our content to you!
Plex Accounts
A Plex account is basically your personal identity for things associated with Plex. You use it to sign in to the plex.tv website, the support forums, and Plex apps.
The Plex website will allow you to manage your Plex account. You can use the top menubar on the plex.tv website to sign in, sign up for a new account, or access account information if already signed in.
