How to Share Your Netflix Account with Friends (or Strangers) Step by Step

Do you have a Netflix account just for yourself? Would you like to share it and reduce your monthly costs? Thanks to Netflix’s extra member feature and the help of Share-Accounts, you can now do it more safely, in a more organized way, and even with people outside your close circle.

What is Share-Accounts?

Share-Accounts is a platform that connects people interested in sharing digital service accounts like Netflix, Spotify, Disney+, or YouTube. On the platform, you can:

• Offer your account to others who want to join.
• Find available spots in shared accounts.
• Chat with other users before accepting or joining.
• Manage your groups all in one place.

Step 1: Check if you can add extra members to your Netflix account

To share your account using Netflix’s official feature, you need to have one of these plans:

• Standard Plan (HD): allows 1 extra member.
• Premium Plan (4K UHD): allows up to 2 extra members.

Basic plans, ad-supported plans, or accounts managed through third parties (such as telecom operators) do not allow adding extra members.

You can review your plan and options at netflix.com/account

Step 2: List your account on Share-Accounts

1. Sign up or log in at Share-Accounts.
2. Create and publish your Netflix group.
3. Fill in:
   • How many slots you’re offering.
   • Monthly price per slot.
   • Choose between “Secure Payments” or “Direct Payments between Users” (self-managed). With Secure Payments, Share-Accounts will act as an intermediary to automate and secure collections and the provision of the shared service.
4. Wait for other users to join your group.

Alternatively, you can search for available Netflix accounts if you’d prefer to join an existing one.

Step 3: Add the extra member in Netflix

Once you find someone trustworthy (ideally after chatting and agreeing on terms):

1. Go to netflix.com/account.
2. Click on “Buy an extra member slot”.
3. Enter the email of the person you want to share with.
4. Netflix will send them an invitation.
5. The other person must:
   • Accept the invitation.
   • Create their own login or transfer an existing profile.

Step 4: Ensure access for all members of your group

Once you’ve ensured everyone in your group has access, simply press the corresponding button (“Confirm everyone has access”) and the dispute period will begin. If there are no issues, the dues will be collected within a week, and you’ll automatically receive payments on a recurring basis (this applies if the group has selected “Secure Payments”; otherwise, you are free to manage payments as you see fit).

Step 5: Manage your extra members

Netflix allows you to:

• Change an extra member 1 or 2 times per billing cycle.
• Cancel the extra member slot at any time.
• Manage each member from your account dashboard.

Keep in mind that the extra member:

• Can only stream on one device at a time.
• Can download up to 15 titles per month.
• Must be in the same country as the account owner.

Conclusion

Sharing Netflix today requires a bit more organization than before, but it’s still possible thanks to the extra member feature and platforms like Share-Accounts.

You can save money, meet like-minded people, and make the most of your subscription.
