+Unfortunately, due to changes from plex regarding their API, we can no longer generate access tokens for external users i.e. `invited users`, thus we had to disable and remove
+support from WatchState. This change only effects external users, home/managed users are not affected. Please see [this issue](https://github.com/arabcoders/watchstate/issues/793) for more details.
