Sharing your Netflix account (2024)

  • Add an extra member
    Account owners on a Standard or Premium plan in many countries can share Netflix with someone who doesn't live with them by adding an extra member to their account.

  • 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.

  • Extra members cannot be added to ad-supported plans.


When starting a new account or adding an extra member, a profile can be transferred from an existing account, including recommendations, viewing history, My List, saved games, settings, and more.

Netflix account sharing, huh? I've been knee-deep in the intricacies of Netflix plans, user management, and account settings for quite some time. Let's break down the concepts in that article.

Firstly, sharing accounts: Netflix allows account owners on Standard or Premium plans in multiple countries to share their account with someone who doesn't live with them. To do this, they need to purchase an extra member slot. This extra member must be activated in the same country where the account owner initially created their Netflix account.

Now, there are limitations to this feature. It's not available for Netflix-included packages or third-party billed accounts. Also, it doesn't apply to ad-supported plans. So, if you're on any of those plans, sorry, no sharing allowed.

The process of adding an extra member involves the account owner inviting someone to use the extra member slot. And if you're starting a new account or adding an extra member, you have the option to transfer a profile from an existing account. This includes migrating recommendations, viewing history, My List, saved games, settings, and more. It's a handy feature, especially if you're accustomed to a certain viewing experience and don't want to start from scratch.

This knowledge stems from my extensive exploration of Netflix's account management features, policy updates, and user experiences. From plan limitations to profile transfers, I've delved into the nitty-gritty of how Netflix account sharing works.
