This participating app will share what you watch with Apple. When you connect Plex with the Apple TV app, you’ll see the following explanation: What this means is that content that you have in Plex will now appear in the TV app and in places like your Up Next queue. The TV app integration has surfaced in the latest TestFlight beta of the Plex app. Plex’s testing of TV app integration was first spotted by friend of the site Will Sigmon, who shared it on Twitter yesterday. The Apple TV app can surface content from apps such as Hulu and Amazon Prime Video, making it easy to track what you’re watching in a single app, then jump out to individual apps to actually watch the content. The TV app serves multiple purposes, and one of those purposes is to serve as a hub for content from other streaming applications. As detailed in our privacy policy, we don’t know what content our users have in their personal media libraries.” To make this work we provide Apple with a list of content we have available for streaming. We’d love to integrate personal media as well but that’s not technically possible for a couple reasons. “This feature will only work with our free on demand movies and TV shows. Update: A Plex employee on Reddit has explained more about what this means: Once it’s fully developed, this feature will allow users to find Plex content through the TV application on their iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. And at the moment, there's currently no timeframe for a public release of Plex 7.14.The popular media hosting and streaming platform Plex has started testing Apple TV app integration. With Plex's TestFlight program at full capacity, you can't try out the integration if you weren't already enrolled in the beta.

Either way, we've reached out to Plex for more information, and we'll update this article when we hear back from the company. It's also worth pointing out the integration may not work in every country where you can get both Plex and the Apple TV app. 9to5 suggests this could be because Plex plans to only make content from its free streaming service available in this way through the Apple TV app. Now, before those of you with Plex servers get too excited, Sigmon said he wasn't able to get content from his personal server to show up consistently.

It will also show up in your "Up Next" queue, as well as in your recommendations. Once the company releases the software to the public, you'll be able to see Plex content in the Apple TV app.

In a tweet spotted by 9to5Mac, podcaster Will Sigmon found that the latest Plex TestFlight beta release includes support for Apple TV app integration. Did…did Plex just add Apple TV app integration with their latest beta (7.14)… 🤯 /M2gG82kvSi- Will Sigmon February 18, 2021
