Add a second user on Apple Tv

Hi, just wondering if it’s possible to add a second user or if there’s a way to start watching a tv show that someone else is already watching without it going back to the start for them? Basically like you can do with Netflix where you can just add another profile/user. Someone has started watching a show and now I want to start as well but keep their place for them but I can’t seem to see any way to do that. Any advice welcome, thanks in advance

Yes, each user needs to have their own Apple Account. That is what is used to keep track of their watch history.
