I am currently the DM of a campaign. Previously, my wife was the DM and I was a player, so our D&D Beyond library is all under her DDB account rather than mine. For the most part, because of content sharing, this isn't an issue. But in order to homebrew a monster based on one of the books we own, I had to do it under her account. Unlike other homebrew things (e.g., items, backgrounds) this one isn't working for me. Under her account, the homebrew monster is available to use in the Encounter Builder. Under my account, though, it doesn't exist. Neither do any homebrew monsters added to her collection.
With a direct link to the homebrew monster (which isn't publicly available), I'm able to view the stat block without issue. I just can't use it in the Encounter Builder. Which tells me that the monster is available to me outside of the Encounter Builder. So it's not a general access issue.
Is this just not a thing that is possible? Is being a DM without a Master Tier subscription when one of your players has a Master Tier subscription just incredibly limited when it comes to the Encounter Builder?
When you view the private homebrew, there's a button at the bottom that says "add to my collection". Once it's added, you ought to be able to use it in the encounter builder.
When you don't have a Master tier subscription, you see this instead when you mouse over it:
On other homebrew things, I haven't needed to add it to my personal collection in order for it to be accessible to me. As long as it was in my wife's account's collection, that was enough.
My homebrew spells aren't available for me to choose with a new character, either. Thankfully they work with my existing characters. I am assuming there must be some kind of global issue with homebrew at the moment.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.

Could be. But I was having issues with this last week before the 2024 stuff was deployed.
