Getting kicked off a shared streaming account
Each streaming plan allows a certain number of screens to play at the same time. Netflix Standard allows 2, Premium allows 4. If you're sharing with people at different addresses, some services now require separate accounts or an extra paid member slot.
Each streaming service limits how many screens can watch at the same time. Netflix UK now requires everyone to be at the same home address. If you're sharing with someone at a different address, you need to either add them as an Extra Member on Netflix (for about £4.99 a month) or they need their own account. Disney+ and Prime Video don't actively enforce household rules the same way.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Signing out all devices at once instead of just the ones not being used — this stops other household members from watching
- Not knowing Netflix Extra Member slots exist as an option for someone at a different address
Signs you need professional help
- Netflix household verification isn't working even though you're at home
- You think someone without permission is using your account
