Note that Netflix's Basic plan is no longer available. If you are already subscribed to this option, you can continue to use it until you cancel or switch plans. With Basic, you are limited to watching Netflix on one device at a time.
As noted in the pricing breakdown, the Standard plan limits you to downloading Netflix content on two devices at once. With a Premium plan, you can download Netflix shows and movies on up to six devices at once. If you have the Standard with ads plan, you can't download at all.
While you can be signed into Netflix on multiple devices, you can only actively watch a stream on the number of screens included in your plan. This means that if you have the two-screen plan, you can still have three people signed into your account on various devices, as long as they aren't all watching at the same time.
The message should show you which devices are streaming Netflix with your account, and what they're watching. Ask these people to stop (via texting them or whatever is easiest) and you'll be clear to stream on your own once they stop. If you think someone is using your Netflix account without your knowledge, we've shown how to find out who is using your Netflix account if it's not immediately apparent.
Separate from the number of screens that you can watch Netflix on at a time, you can also create multiple profiles on your Netflix account. This allows each person that uses the account to have their own personalized recommendations, list of titles they want to watch, subtitle appearances, and similar.
Every Netflix account can have up to five profiles. This doesn't mean that you can watch on each of those profiles at the same time, though. Profiles are a handy way to keep each user's preferences distinct, but the amount of people that can watch Netflix at the same time is still bound by your Netflix plan's screen limit.
It was once common practice to share your Netflix password with other people, allowing everyone to save some money on the service. However, in 2023, Netflix started cracking down on password sharing. Now, the company has restrictions on people outside of your home using your account, so sharing your password with friends or faraway family isn't really an option. Your account is only intended for devices in your home to access the service.
Instead, Netflix now allows you to add an extra member for an additional fee. On the Standard and Premium plans, you can pay $7.99/month per person to add one extra person (Standard) or up to two extra people (Premium). While extra members get their own login information, the account owner pays for their cost. Extra members can only have one Netflix profile, and are limited to watching and downloading on one device at a time.
Consider whether you should share your Netflix account in this way carefully. While it might be cheaper to add a friend to your account, there are potential drawbacks compared to them signing up on their own.
Now you know how many devices can watch Netflix at the same time. In addition to watching on more screens at a time, a higher-tier account provides higher-resolution streaming. Consider upgrading if you have many people in your home who want to watch Netflix at once.
Netflix's screen limits can be frustrating if there's more than one person on your account. You've probably wondered if there's some sort of trick to overcome this restriction. The good news is it's surprisingly easy to bypass the screen limits with an official Netflix feature.
Many streaming services now have screen limits, including Netflix. Netflix's screen limits vary depending on the type of plan each user has. Netflix's first two plans, "Standard with Ads" and "Standard," allow up to two different screens to stream content at the same time. The only plan that offers four different screens is "Premium."
However, Netflix does offer the option of adding another member to your plan for $7.99 monthly. Each new member added will incur an additional $7.99 monthly fee. This was added after Netflix began cracking down on sharing passwords.
New members have a separate account from the original account holder, but billing will come from the original account holder's preexisting payment details. In other words, the new member gets a separate account that is paid for by you from your own account.
What you may not know is that Netflix's screen limits only apply to content being streamed online on separate devices. So, any content that's been downloaded for offline viewing doesn't apply to this rule.
Downloading content on Netflix is very easy and gives you an offline library of movies and TV shows to choose from, all while dodging that pesky screen limit. The only "catch" is you can't download content for offline viewing on Netflix's TV apps. You'll need to use the iPhone, iPad, Android, or Windows app.
First, head onto the Netflix app and pick which movie or TV series you want to watch. For a movie, you'll see a single download button, but for TV shows, there's a download symbol on each episode. Hit the button, and then you'll see a download progress bar begin.
Netflix also offers "Smart Downloads," a feature for series' that automatically downloads the next episode for you once the previous episode is finished. This can only work when you're connected to the internet, but it's a useful feature if you don't want to wait around. The toggle is at the top of the "Downloads" section.
By downloading content and watching it offline, you can easily bypass Netflix's screen limits and enjoy the movies and TV shows you love without eating into your monthly budget. The only downside is you can't do this on a TV, but that might not matter if you're vying for screens with other people in your home!
The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot, then invite an extra member to use the extra member slot. The extra member must be activated in the same country where the account owner created their account. Extra members cannot be added to Netflix-included packages or third-party billed accounts.
T-Mobile is not making any changes to our Netflix benefit and are still making sure that you are able to get Netflix for your household with the On Us feature. If you are using your Netflix account in other households, then you would need to look at the extra members options through Netflix, but that would not be included in what is covered by the Netflix on Us feature on your T-Mobile account.
We paid for all these lines with this benefit as part of it and expect all of these lines to be able to use this benefit. This is the way it was pitched to us to get us onto this t-mobile plan from our previous tmobile plan.
Family: A family is a group of two or more persons related by birth, marriage, or adoption who live together; all such related persons are considered as members of one family. For instance, if an older married couple, their daughter and her husband and two children, and the older couple's nephew all lived in the same house or apartment; they would all be considered members of a single family.
T-Mobile would not pay for the extra memberships. If you upgrade your plan to Standard or Premium they charge you the extra cost. Why not be able to add a member to your plan (like you could if you had a regular Netflix account) and T-Mobile charge that extra cost also.
If you view your account details in Netflix, there is no Add Extra Members option. That option is only available for standard Netflix accounts, not third-party billed Netflix accounts like T-Mobile. This is a Netflix policy and there is nothing T-Mobile can do about it.
When you sign up for a Netflix on Us promotion, T-Mobile is not creating your Netflix account. You are redirected to the Netflix site to create an account that is billed to T-Mobile instead of yourself.
At least, this Netflix change does not affect existing customers. I have only a single line that qualified for the Netflix Basic plan, but I opted to pay the difference to upgrade to the Premium plan. So, T-Mobile pays the $9.99 for Basic, and I pay the $10 difference for Premium.
I suspect that the Netflix on Us promotion will be modified to offer the $6.99 plan with Ads. And an upgrade to Premium will cost $13 instead of $10. Anyone who has not yet subscribed to the Netflix promotion should do it now before these possible changes are implemented.
Netflix is losing money because of their lack of quality content. How bout not gouging your customers? And give us something that might be worth the addl cost? Imo they need to be a little more careful, recently membership costs went ulp, now this. A customer exodus might happen. Meaning in users language choice, not dubbed. What have they released lately that is water cooler topic? How about staying relevant before charging more and more for tired shows. Other networks continue to offer great new content, for example Paramount & apple. Lol even Hulu
