How to Log Out of Netflix on TV

The best thing about Netflix is it’s available on a myriad of electronic devices – smartphones, laptops, TVs, video game consoles, tablets, and more. You can access the streaming platform from pretty much anywhere in the world and at any time. However, you might want to sign out of your Netflix account from devices that aren’t yours, such as the TV in a hotel room. Can’t find the sign out option though? Follow this guide to learn how to log out of Netflix from a TV. 

How to Sign Out of Netflix on TV

For some strange reason, Netflix has hidden the option to sign out of its TV app deep in the Settings menu. This can make finding it difficult, especially if you are not well-versed with the app. But there’s no need to delete your Netflix account for this.

1. Launch the Netflix app on your TV and press the Left arrow button on your remote to open the menu. 
   
2. Select the Get Help option from the bottom right corner. 
   
3. Scroll to the bottom of the menu list to navigate to the Sign out button and select it.
   
4. It’ll ask you if you’re sure that you want to sign out. Select Yes. 
   

After this, you’ll only be able to stream content on the Netflix TV app when you log back into your account.

Why You Should Sign Out of Netflix on TV

Leaving your Netflix signed in on a TV that isn’t yours means anyone who has access to that device can use your account to watch content. This can wreak havoc with your personalized recommendation and even mess up the shows and movies you’re currently in the middle of watching. The unknown user might even create a Netflix profile of their own. If your current Netflix plan doesn’t allow streaming to multiple devices, you might get kicked off the app if they are using your account.

They can also easily clear your Netflix recently watched viewing history, so you won’t notice that someone is using your account. While kicking them out of your account is the easiest solution, signing out of your account from that device will save you from all these troubles.
