Yes, you can get the Plex on Nintendo Switch. It is not available Officially. So You can use the Hidden Browser and get it on your Console. It is Pretty easy to do.
Change the DNS from Auto to Manual.
Access the Browser.
Navigate to the Plex Official Website and There you go. Enjoy on your screens . Check Techthanos - Plex on Switch for the Full Guide.

Take a look if you're interested !
