How to Manage Devices on Netflix

manage devices on netflix

You might have shared your account with your family and friends to help cut down on costs. Netflix allows up to five individual profiles on a single account. You can create profiles for members in your household, allowing them to have their own personalized Netflix experience. However, note that only one to four devices can stream from the same account simultaneously, depending on your streaming Plan.

If you always share your account with many, you might see a message like: Too many people are using your account right now. That means the maximum number of people watching on your account is already reached. In this case, you can ask them to stop or manage your sign-in devices (remove some devices) to have a normal streaming experience. Read on, below we will show you how to manage your devices on Netflix and offer an amazing way to stream Netflix content on more than four screens at the same time.

Part One: Remove Devices on Netflix

Step 1. Sign into Netflix with a web browser and choose your profile, then click the inverted-triangle icon on the upper-right corner and choose “Account”. Please note that the account settings can’t be changed from the Netflix app on your phone or TV.
