How Can I Sign out of Netflix?
On newer Roku streaming players and smart TVs, signing out of Netflix is easy from the app’s home screen. If you’re not sure which version of Roku you have, walk through these steps first; directions for older models are below. If those steps aren’t working, start from the Netflix app, and press the following arrows on the remote in this exact order: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. Select Sign out, Start Over, Deactivate, or Reset.
Roku 2 and Roku LT
Try these steps if you have the 2nd-gen Roku (i.e., Roku 2 HD, XD, XS, or LT).
Roku 1
These steps are for older Roku devices released between 2008 and 2010.
Roku TVs
If you’re logged in to Netflix on Roku TV, here’s what you need to do:
How to Sign out of Netflix on Roku Remotely
If you no longer have access to the Roku device, or the directions explained above aren’t working for you, you can still sign out of Netflix. There are two ways to do this, depending on your particular situation.
From Your Netflix Account
You might follow these steps if you don’t own the Roku, like if you’re logged in to Netflix at someone else’s house. Visit the Sign Out of All Devices area of your Netflix account, and then choose Sign Out to instantly log out of every device using your account. Unfortunately, there’s no way to selectively log out of just the Roku, you have to do them all at once.
From Your Roku Account
If the Roku is yours (i.e., you set it up originally under your own Roku account), but for whatever reason you can’t sign out from your Netflix account, disconnecting your entire Roku account from the device will essentially log you out of Netflix (and everything else you might be logged in to). This is done by unlinking the device from your Roku account. This will disconnect your identity from the device, so all the apps you’ve added to it will no longer be available, and anyone who tries using it will need to log in to their own Roku account, and ultimately their own Netflix account if they so choose. The steps are simple: Sign in to your Roku account in a web browser, scroll down to the list of linked devices, and choose Unlink next to the Roku using your Netflix account.
How Do I Log Into a Different Netflix Account?
To sign in to a different Netflix account on Roku, use the steps above to sign out. When prompted, enter the credentials to the other Netflix account you want to use. Another way a Netflix account could be interpreted is as a Netflix profile. Of course, these are just mini accounts within the main one, so switching between profiles is even easier. Visit the Netflix home screen and use the left arrow to open the side menu, and then use the up arrow a couple of times to select a profile (if you see one). The option at the very top of the menu, called Switch Profiles, will list all the profiles you can pick from.
What It Means to Sign out of Netflix
It’s crucial you’re aware of what it means to sign out of Netflix. Signing out, or logging off (same thing), just means you’re disconnecting your account from the app. Nothing more, nothing less. This means signing out of Netflix doesn’t have any effect on the status of your Netflix subscription. Neither does shutting off your TV, deleting the Netflix profiles, or even removing the Roku or deleting the whole Netflix app from the device.
