Understanding Multi-Device Access on One Subscription
What it typically means to use one subscription across multiple devices, and what to check before assuming.
Many households want to use a single subscription across more than one device — a Smart TV in the living room, a phone for on-the-go viewing, and so on. Here's what that typically involves.
How Multi-Device Access Usually Works
You install a supported app separately on each device and sign in using the same account details. This doesn't require any additional setup beyond what you'd do for a single device.
What to Confirm First
- Review your specific plan's terms regarding device usage
- Confirm each device you want to use is on the supported list
- Understand any limits your plan may have around simultaneous use
