Netflix is one of the most popular streaming applications out there today. It is literally available on almost all devices ranging from smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs. Getting started with Netflix is quite easy and straightforward. You only need to set up your account and you should be able to start streaming your favorite movies and TV shows without a problem. However, you might have a reason to sign out of the Netflix account you have saved on your smart TV, and that may be a little thornier than it is to set up the account in the first place.
Think about it, your friend or family member may give you a visit, and perhaps he has some TV shows he would like to watch from his account. Then, you would want him to be able to easily sign in and enjoy his shows. Imagine being stuck right there, not being able to sign out of your account in order for this person to sign in. The frustrating situation, right? Well, not necessarily. If you are looking for tips on how to sign out of Netflix on TV, you have bumped into the right post.
The situation cited above aside, if you have ever signed in to Netflix at a hotel or given your password to a friend, it is expected of you to sign out afterward. Otherwise, you might be stopped from being able to watch those favorite TV shows and movies of yours as the account has too many people signed in at the same time. In this post, we present to you a guide on how to easily sign out of your Netflix account on smart TV.
Before we proceed, here is the step involved in a highlight version:
