How to Sign Out from Netflix on Smart TV?​

Method 1: How to Sign Out from Netflix on Any Smart TV (Universal Method)​

This works on most Smart TVs with the official Netflix app.


Step-by-step:

1. Open the Netflix app on your Smart TV.
2. Navigate to the menu on the left-hand side.
3. Scroll down and select “Get Help” or “Settings”.
4. Select “Sign out”.
5. Confirm by selecting Yes when prompted.

Note: If you don’t see the "Get Help" option, proceed to the secret method below.

Method 2: Use the Secret Code to Sign Out of Netflix​

Netflix has a hidden screen you can access with your remote. This method works even if you're stuck or can't find the settings.


Do this on the Netflix home screen:

Press this sequence on your remote:

Up > Up > Down > Down > Left > Right > Left > Right > Up > Up > Up > Up


This will bring up the “Deactivate” screen. From here, you can:

• Sign out
• Deactivate
• Start Over
• Reset

Choose Sign out and confirm.

Tip: This is especially helpful for older TV models or when the standard settings menu is unavailable.

Method 3: Sign Out Without the Remote​

If your remote is lost or broken:


Use the Netflix app on your phone:

1. Open the Netflix mobile app.
2. Go to Profile > Account.
3. Scroll down to Settings > Manage Devices.
4. Find your Smart TV and sign out from there.

Not all Netflix accounts have access to this feature, especially if you're using a Basic plan.

Or use the TV's physical buttons to navigate the app (limited brands only).

FAQs​

Will signing out delete my Netflix account?​

No, signing out only removes your credentials from that device. Your Netflix account remains intact.

Can I sign out remotely from all devices?​

Yes. Go to:

• Netflix.com > Account > Sign out of all devices
  This logs you out from everywhere, including Smart TVs, phones, tablets, and browsers.

Do I need to sign out before uninstalling Netflix?​

Not necessary, but it's good practice—especially on shared TVs.
