Netflix allows you to watch on multiple devices at once, which is convenient for family sharing.
Depending on the kind of Netflix plan you have, you can stream video on 1 to 4 devices at once.
You can also create up to 5 Netflix profiles, so everyone can have their own recommendations.
There was a time when Netflix imposed a maximum number of devices that could be connected to your account.
But that limitation no longer exists — you can log into Netflix with as many devices as you like, as long as you don’t try to stream from too many at once.
Here’s a breakdown of the Netflix guidelines for devices and people, based on your subscription plan.
How many people can watch Netflix at once?
On the two cheapest Netflix plans — Basic with Ads and Basic — only one person can watch Netflix at one time. But two people can watch Netflix at once on the Standard plan, and four people can watch at once with Premium.
