Q: Family sharing movies

How can my daughter, who is in my family share, stream a movie that I have previously purchased? When I go to "Videos" on my iPhone, they are available to stream from the cloud for me, but on her iPad Mini, the only thing I can figure out to do is go to the store and download the movie from the "purchases" under my name. I am trying to avoid having to download the movie to her iPad.

Thanks

Howdy coach_d24,

It sounds like you would like this iPad to be able to stream your purchases just like you can on your iPhone. You should be able to get that setup with the information in the following article, named:

Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

"Sharing" in the Family Sharing sense means downloading, not streaming. The question above asks how to stream family sharing purchases. The answer is that there is no way to stream family shared purchases. Very lame for devices with overpriced non-expandable flash.
