How Many People Can Simultaneously Watch Netflix?
- If you have a Basic subscription and are paying $7.99 a month, that means you can only watch Netflix on one screen.
- If you have a Standard subscription and are paying $10.99 a month, that means you can watch Netflix on two screens at the same time.
- If you have a Premium subscription and are paying $14.99 a month, that means you can watch Netflix on four screens at the same time.
This feature definitely comes in handy with larger families. Netflix remembers what you watch and recommends movies based on that. So you want to make sure that your account populates with content that you want to watch.
