How Can I Log out of Netflix on My TV?
The logout or sign-out option is incredibly hard to find on the Netflix app made for smart TVs, but it is there. Here’s how to find Netflix’s logout option and how to use it to switch accounts.
If your Netflix app is frozen and you’re unable to make any menu selections, try uninstalling the app. If this doesn’t work, you may need to factory reset your smart TV.
-
Once you are in the Netflix app on your TV, using your TV’s remote control, press the Left arrow to activate the Netflix app’s menu.
Press Down until Get help is selected. The Get help option may be called Settings depending on your TV model and version of the Netflix app being used.

The Enter button usually takes the form of a circle button in the middle of the arrow buttons.

Press Enter.
Netflix will now ask you to confirm. Highlight Yes.
Press the Enter button. The Netflix app will now logout of your account.

How Do I Sign out of Netflix and Log In?
After you’ve signed out of the Netflix app on your TV via the above steps, you or anyone else can sign back in by selecting the Sign In option on the app’s main screen.
You may not need to sign out of the Netflix app every time someone else wants to watch something from their own account. Most smart TVs support wireless casting from the Netflix mobile app so anyone can do this from their own device as long as it’s on the same Wi-Fi network as your TV.
How Do I Change Netflix Accounts on My TV?
There are actually a variety of ways to switch Netflix accounts on your TV worth experimenting with if this is something you find yourself doing on a regular basis.
- Sign out of the Netflix app and log in again. Following the above steps, you can manually log out on the Netflix app and then log in again with a different account though this can be time-consuming.
- Use a different Netflix account on each device. If you have two or more Netflix account holders in your household, have one log in on the smart TV, another on the Netflix app on the connected streaming box like Apple TV, and another on the Netflix app on your Xbox or PlayStation console.
- Cast from the Netflix mobile app. Android and iOS devices on the same Wi-Fi network as your smart TV can cast Netflix content to it regardless of which account they’re using.
