- Accepted Odyssey friendship
- Profils connectés éligibles
- Profile PIN if the invitation requires one
Quelle invitation
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.
Préparer les participants
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 Les amis et les invitations.
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.
Envoyer l’invitation
- Open the series information page. Choose La série LockEn utilisant le ⋯ menu on Apple TV.
- Choisir Ensemble ou séparément et de réviser l’option Require un PIN de profil pour Watch Anyway et Settings.

An unaccepted invitation is not a joined member. The current waiting rule evaluates joined members’ progress.
Accepter avec le bon profil
- Transfert au profil que vous souhaitez utiliser pour la série.
- Ouvrir Configuration → Profils → Gestion de Profils Familiers → My Series Locks.
- Read the invitation’s title, sender, mode and PIN requirement.
- Choisir Rejoignez ce profil pour participer, ou Déclin Si la demande n’est pas demandée.
- Consultez le lock et votre prochain épisode avant de commencer le 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.
Exemple de travail
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.
Résoudre ou résoudre une invitation manquante
Après avoir rejoint, utilisez Gestion de la série Lock → Laisser Lock if you no longer want to participate. The creator has Récupérer le lock, which ends the lock. Declining before joining avoids creating participation.
Aucun ami ne apparaît : check that the friend request was accepted. The code or email entry in Friends is only the first step.
L’invitation n’est pas 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.
Le profil a déjà un blocage : inspect My Series Locks. The service rejects overlapping participation for the same series instead of silently replacing the existing group.
Réponse rapide
Puis-je choisir un profil après l’adhésion ? The acceptance action explicitly uses the active profile. The current UI does not provide a transfer-participation control, so choose carefully before accepting.
Remove Friend gère-t-il aussi mon lock ? Do not rely on a friendship change as the lock-management action. Review the series and use its explicit leave or remove control.
