Signing out of Netflix on a TV is useful when you are selling the set, staying somewhere temporarily, or someone else logged in on your device. There are a couple of ways to do it, including a remote-access option if the TV is no longer with you.
What you'll need
- A TV with the Netflix app
- The TV remote
Step by step
- Open the Netflix appLaunch Netflix on the TV and make sure you land on the profile selection or home screen.
- Go to the settings or gear menuNavigate to the menu, often shown as a gear icon or found by scrolling to the far side of the top navigation, and look for account or app options.
- Find the Sign Out optionSelect 'Sign Out' or 'Sign out of all devices' from the menu. Confirm when the app asks if you are sure.
- Use the keyboard shortcut if you cannot find the menuFrom the Netflix home screen, press these buttons on the remote in order: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. A hidden menu with a Sign Out option appears.
