Netflix allows simultaneous streaming based on the subscription plan you have:
- Basic plan: 1 person can watch at a time (1 stream)
- Standard plan: 2 people can watch at the same time (2 streams)
- Premium plan: 4 people can watch simultaneously (4 streams)
These limits represent the maximum number of devices that can stream Netflix content concurrently from one account. While you can log into Netflix on many devices, streaming is restricted to these limits depending on your plan
. Additionally, Netflix now enforces a household policy where the account is intended for use by people living in the same household. Sharing outside the household requires paying an extra fee for "extra member" slots, which provide additional access but are still linked to the main account
. In summary, the number of people who can watch Netflix at once depends on your plan:
Plan| Simultaneous Streams Allowed
---|---
Basic| 1
Standard| 2
Premium| 4
This is the official limit on concurrent viewers per account
