Managing Your Account/Groups (when using a Sony account)

When using a Sony account, you can manage your account and groups.

Accounts and Groups

When using a Sony account, a group is created for you automatically the first time you sign in. Each account can have one group of its own, and the events, usage time, and storage capacity are managed for each group.

Note

  • Only one group can be owned by an account.

To share an event with other Sony account users to perform live operations collaboratively, you all must be members of the same group. Invite other users to your own group or have other users invite you to their group beforehand to collaborate in the same group.

Functions available in each group

The functions supported in each group will vary depending on the subscription plan status of the owner of the group. There are restrictions on the functions that can be used if the owner of the group is not subscribed to a plan or is using the free trial. To use all the functions of this service that can be used with a Sony account, the owner of the group must be subscribed to a paid plan. Subscribe to a paid plan and invite other users, or receive an invitation to join a group from another user who is subscribed to a paid plan.

In groups where the owner has a paid subscription plan, other users can freely use the events in the group even if they are not subscribed to a plan.

Functions unavailable if the owner of the group is not subscribed to a plan

  • Creating/starting events
  • Input/output recording
  • Uploading content
