Ask the administrator for a fresh invitation
The Group Plan help directs an administrator to My Account, Subscription Group and the invitation control. An expired link should be replaced by asking that administrator to send another. A group member cannot independently administer invitations or remove another member.
Open the fresh link while signed into the account that should join. Check its identity before accepting, especially on a shared browser. Since accounts and watching histories remain separate, accepting under another family member’s saved login would connect the wrong viewing identity even if the link itself is valid.
Check the group state before leaving and rejoining
The FAQ provides a Leave control and explains that leaving immediately ends group viewing privileges. It also describes asking for a new invitation to rejoin. However, the published Group Plan conditions limit changes of sub-account members to one per month.
Treat those instructions together. A visible Leave button does not establish that repeated leave-and-rejoin experiments are available immediately. If a recent membership change has already occurred, check the applicable group conditions or ask support before removing someone as a troubleshooting step. Preserve the current working membership until the replacement route is clear.
Review the receiving account’s existing agreement
The group FAQ warns that an existing plan may continue renewing after joining and tells users to review its original billing route. Joining a group does not provide evidence that a separate recurring payment has automatically ended. Keep the original receipt and next renewal date for that check.
For an invitation failure, describe the receiving account, whether the link is expired, and whether the administrator recently changed a member. Keep payment questions separate from the invitation itself. The documented Group Plan and its conditions concern the applicable market; they should not be treated as permission to share another product or as a universal account-sharing rule across CATCHPLAY+ territories.
Questions about this guide
Should a new member use the administrator’s password?
No. The documented plan invites separate, independent accounts.
Is leaving a harmless way to refresh access?
Leaving ends group viewing immediately, and the published conditions also limit member changes.
