If you’re one of the 100 million Roku users, then you may find yourself wanting to log out of your Netflix account occasionally. Fortunately, there are a few easy steps you can follow to do so.
The method may vary depending on which Roku model you are using. In this article, we’ll be showing you how to log out of your Netflix account on any Roku device.
Let’s take a closer look.
How to Log Out of Netflix on a Roku Device
The version of Roku you are using has a direct effect on the way you log out of Netflix. Let’s start by looking at the Roku 4, 3, and streaming stick.
If you are using a Roku 4, 3, or streaming stick, then follow these steps in order to log out of Netflix.
- Launch Netflix on your Roku channel.
- On the left-hand side of the screen, head to your “Get Help” menu.
- At the bottom of the list, you will see the option to “Sign Out.”
- When prompted, confirm your action by choosing “Yes.”
If you find yourself struggling to navigate your way to the right menus, you can use a remote sequence. The following sequence will allow you to do this: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. Once you’ve input the sequence, select “Sign Out” from the list of options that appear on your screen.
If you are using a Roku 2, here is a guide on how to log out of your Netflix account.
- From your home screen on Roku, navigate your way to the Netflix channel.
- On your remote control, press the “Star’” button to open your channel options.
- Click “Remove Channel.”
- Confirm your action by clicking “Remove Channel” again.
Alternatively, you can also log out of your Netflix account using the Roku app on your smartphone. The app is free to download on both iPhones and Android devices. Here’s how:
- Launch the Roku app on your device.
- Open the menu and tap on “Netflix.”
- From the left-hand side, select “Get Help.”
- Tap “Sign Out.”
- You will now be signed out of your Netflix account from your Roku device.
If you are using Roku 1, you will find that it requires you to deactivate the device directly from your Netflix account.
- Launch your Roku account and head over to “Settings.”
- From the available options, choose “Netflix Settings.”
- From the menu that appears, select “Deactivate This Device from My Netflix Account.”
- When prompted, confirm your action on the screen.
It’s worth noting that you can sign out of Netflix from a single Roku device without it affecting other devices you own. In other words, signing out of your Netflix from one account will not automatically sign you out from all other Roku devices.
When you deactivate your account, it means that the device no longer has permission to link to your Netflix. In order to use Netflix from that device, you must complete the necessary steps to reauthorize it.
Having said that, if you remove an entire channel from a Roku device it will remove it from all other devices. If you wish to re-add a channel, the process is straightforward.
