Netflix Setup & Streaming Support

Getting Netflix Working on Your Device

Netflix runs on almost anything with a screen, which is exactly why sign-in and playback problems take so many different forms. Most of them come down to the device, the app version or the connection rather than the account itself.

Signing in on a TV or streaming device

• Open the Netflix app on your TV, stick or console.
• Choose Sign In. Some devices show a short code instead of a login box.
• If you get a code, open netflix.com/activate on your phone or computer and enter it there.
• Pick the profile you want to use on this device.

When video keeps buffering

• Restart the device fully — standby is not the same as a restart.
• Restart your router and give it two minutes to settle.
• Move the device closer to the router, or use an Ethernet cable if it has a port.
• Check whether other devices are downloading in the background.
• Lower the playback quality in your account settings if your connection is slow.

Profiles, downloads and screens

Profiles keep everyone’s watch history separate, and each plan allows a set number of screens at once. If you keep seeing a “too many devices” message, sign out of devices you no longer use from your account page rather than changing your password repeatedly.

Problems we fix most often

• Activation code not accepted, or expiring before you can type it.
• App crashing or showing a black screen on a smart TV.
• Audio out of sync, or subtitles in the wrong language.
• Netflix missing from an older TV that no longer receives app updates.
• Sign-in loops after a password change.
