¿Qué invitación hace

A Series Lock invitation asks a friend to share episode progress for one series. They choose the participating profile on their own Odyssey account. No progress is shared through the invitation before they accept.

Friendship, an invitation and participation are three different states. First confirm the friendship. Then create the lock and send its invitation. Finally, the recipient chooses whether to join. An invitation does not grant a provider subscription, a source login or media rights.

Prepara a los participantes

Both sides need eligible profiles connected to Odyssey accounts and access to the relevant series through authorised sources. The sender needs an accepted friend in Amigos y invitaciones.

If the lock requires a PIN for Watch Anyway, each selected profile needs a profile PIN. A recipient cannot join that protected lock until the chosen profile has the necessary PIN setup. Do not exchange PINs or full management codes to solve this.

Restricted household profiles labelled Kids profiles can join household-only locks. They cannot be combined with friends from other accounts in this flow. Odyssey’s website remains for adults aged 18 or over.

An unaccepted invitation is not a joined member. The current waiting rule evaluates joined members’ progress.

Acceptado con el perfecto

  1. Switch al perfil que intenta utilizar para la serie.
  2. Abrir Configuraciones → Profiles → Gestión de Profiles de la Familia → My Series Locks.
  3. Read the invitation’s title, sender, mode and PIN requirement.
  4. Elegir Únete a este perfil para participar, o Declaración Si la solicitud no se desea.
  5. Revisa el bloqueo y su siguiente episodio antes de comenzar el playback.

In Together mode, accepting can combine existing completion with the group. Choose Separately at creation if everyone needs to complete each episode independently. Do not accept a mode you have not agreed to.

El ejemplo trabajado

Sam invites an accepted friend to a Separately lock for a weekly drama. The friend opens the invitation while using a general household profile, then realises their own viewing history belongs to another profile. They switch before accepting and join with the intended profile. Later completion on that profile updates their participation.

The two accounts may use different permitted sources for the same correctly identified series. Matching the series and episodes matters; matching account credentials is neither required nor appropriate.

Dejar o resolver una invitación ausente

Después de unirse, usar Gestión de la serie Lock → dejar el bloqueo if you no longer want to participate. The creator has Remover el bloqueo, which ends the lock. Declining before joining avoids creating participation.

No aparece ningún amigo: check that the friend request was accepted. The code or email entry in Friends is only the first step.

La invitación no está disponible: it may have expired, been declined, already been used or belonged to a removed lock. Ask the sender to review the current group rather than repeatedly trying a stale invitation.

Joining reports a PIN problem: set the chosen profile’s PIN through its profile controls, then retry while that profile remains active.

El perfil ya tiene un bloqueo: inspect My Series Locks. The service rejects overlapping participation for the same series instead of silently replacing the existing group.

Respuestas rápidas

¿Puedo elegir un perfil después de unirse? The acceptance action explicitly uses the active profile. The current UI does not provide a transfer-participation control, so choose carefully before accepting.

¿El Remove Friend también gestiona mi lock? Do not rely on a friendship change as the lock-management action. Review the series and use its explicit leave or remove control.
