Hey there Annie26_,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, what happens when trying to use SharePlay? Does everyone have access to content that is trying to be shared? Contacts that don’t have access should be asked to get access (through a subscription, a transaction, or a free trial, if available).


Also, are these the steps you're following when trying to use SharePlay: Enjoy content together live using SharePlay on iPhone - Apple Support


1. In a supported app, find a show, movie, song, album, or other content you want to share, then tap the item to see its details.
2. Do one of the following:
* Tap the Share button, then tap SharePlay.
* Tap the More button at the top right, tap the Share button, then tap SharePlay.
* Tap the More button next to the content, then tap SharePlay.
3. In the To field, enter the contacts you want to share with, then tap Messages.
4. Tap Start or Play to begin using SharePlay.

To begin viewing or listening, recipients tap the content’s title at the top of the Messages conversation, then tap Open.

Note: If the shared content requires a subscription, the service may ask those who don’t have access to subscribe, make a transaction, or sign up for a free trial, if available.

When you select content to share and tap the Play button, you can also select Play for Everyone (if it appears) to begin it for everyone in the conversation. (Others on the thread may have to tap Join SharePlay to see the video.)


If not, give the steps above a try and let us know which step you start having issues at, along with any errors or alerts that you're seeing.


Take care.
