New Delhi: Streaming giant Netflix has shared its rules and exemptions to explain how it plans to maintain account sharing within a household. The company has updated its FAQ pages for countries where it’s already testing additional subscription fees for account sharing — Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, reports TechCrunch.
The company hopes to reduce account sharing this year, by charging additional fees for extended use of the streaming service outside the home. With the new terms, users are asked to specify their TV as their primary location, and the same Wi-Fi network as the TV must be used to connect all accounts and devices. ,Also read: LIC plan: Rs 1800 per month investment gives Rs 8 lakh returns – check maturity, premium calculator here,
“A primary location is set by a TV that is signed in to your account and connected to your Wi-Fi network. All other devices signed in to your account on that Wi-Fi network will be connected to your primary location.” and will be able to use Netflix,” the company said. ,ALSO READ: Google layoffs 2023: Ali Neel was on mental health leave, received dismissal mail at 2 am,
If the user has not specified a primary location or does not have a TV, Netflix will determine a primary location based on IP address, device ID, and activity.
“To make sure your devices are connected to your primary location, connect to Wi-Fi at your primary location, open the Netflix app or website, and watch something at least once every 31 days,” the company said.
Last month, the streaming giant announced that it would begin sharing its payment passwords “more broadly” “later” in the first quarter (Q1) of this year.
