Apple tv+ subscription access on web browser on PC I shared my Apple tv sub with friend and is confirmed in my family group however when she attempts to access Apple tv via web browser on a PC with her Apple ID it states she can start a free trial? What step are we missing to allow her to access tv sub as I paid for the year subscription? Thanks- I do not need the article on "All the ways to watch Apple Tv and more" as that does not state anything about a shared account, only starting a free trial.

well, since it's one time offer, you cannot activate both nor use 2 years, and there is no way to select device, so seems like you have only 2 options:

remove second device from family group and activate free year independently on family group. not sure if it make sense, since you loose benefits of family sharing
activate tv+ free year and forget about free year from second device

found also this: https://www.apple.com/promo/pdf/EN_US_ATV+_Promo_TandCs.pdf

and it states - Offer cannot be combined with other free trials or offers for Apple TV+. - so yes, only one device will do a trick :-)
