What geography is this user in?  Was your account created in the same geography as the user you are inviting?

If your account shows that the invitation was accepted, then you probably need to do this: 

Either both accounts need to be showing "Library", or both need to be showing "Feed".

 

Also, with feed, he needs to select your location.

Thank. But in my case the 2nd user needs to use it via the my.arlo web browser función. Is that not possible?

Yes.  But my.arlo.com also now has two user interfaces (like the app).  So you might need the same migration in one or both accounts.

Sorry, but I dont get what are the 2 user interfaces. When I log in with the newly created 2nd user I get this page:

When you access your account, do you see "Library" in the main menu or "Feed"?

 

"Feed" is the new interface, "Library" is the older one.

The only way is to start to add a Pro 5s or a home security system to the other account (not completing the process).

I need to buy it?

Really this is getting better and better. So my wife can not access the cameras in a simple manner? This must be a bad joke.

No.  You just need to pretend you have it, and start onboarding.  You obviously can't complete the onboarding - but starting to add the device is enough to migrate to the new experience.
