How Many Devices Can Stream HBO Max?
This page describes the profile and device restrictions for HBO Max, including the number of simultaneous viewers and the number of streaming devices per account.
How Can I Watch HBO Max on Multiple Devices?
You must configure each device the same way you did the first one you used with the service in order to watch HBO Max on numerous devices. Depending on the device, you might need to sign in to HBO Max TV using your email address and password or by entering a code. This procedure can be carried on on as many gadgets as you desire.
There is a list of supported devices for HBO Max. You can add a device to your account and use it to watch HBO Max as long as it’s on that list.
How Many Profiles Can You Have on HBO Max?
You must create several HBO Max profiles after connecting numerous devices. You may have up to five additional profiles on your HBO Max account. Each device can stream a different movie or show when you use multiple profiles on those devices. Each account’s watch history and favorites are unique.
If you have several profiles when you access the HBO Max website or launch the HBO Max app, you must choose one before moving on. In order to allow many users to use a device without mixing up their watch histories, you can switch between profiles on a single device at any moment by selecting your profile icon.
How Do You Add Profiles For Family Members on HBO Max?
From the HBO Max website or the app, you can add profiles. From the same screen that you use to move between profiles, you can add a new profile if you don’t already have five.
Here’s how to add a profile for a family member on HBO Max:
-
Navigate to the HBO Max website, or open the app.
-
On the profile selection screen, select +Adult to add an adult account or +Child to add a child account. If the profile is for a child, you can set a code to prevent them from switching to your profile to access adult content.
-
Enter a name for the profile, and select a color.
-
Select Save.
-
The owner of the new profile can now sign in to your HBO Max account on their device and watch using their new profile.
Accounts are not profiles. Even if you set up a profile for a family member, they will still need to use your password to sign into HBO Max on their device.
How Many Devices Can Stream HBO Max At Once?
You can simultaneously stream to three devices using HBO Max. The HBO Max website on a computer, phones, streaming devices like Roku and Fire Stick, smart TVs, and other devices are included. An error notice stating that you are streaming on too many devices will appear if you attempt to stream simultaneously to more than three devices. When that occurs, you won’t be able to stream again until someone else who is using your account to stream does so.
Can You Kick Someone Off HBO Max?
You can ban someone from your HBO Max account if there are too many individuals streaming and you want to take quick control. Then, before they can resume streaming, their device must reconnect.
If you believe someone has stolen your account information, blocking someone from HBO Max can also be useful. By logging into HBO Max on your computer or smartphone and going to the Manage Devices menu, you can remove a device right away in either situation. You can uninstall each linked device one at a time or all at once after viewing them all.
This is how you can remove someone from HBO Max:
- Navigate to the HBO Max website, or open the app, and select your profile.
-
Select your profile icon in the upper right corner.
-
Select Manage Devices.
-
Select the X next to a device to remove that device, or SIGN ALL DEVICES OUT to remove all of the devices at once.
Can You Bypass an HBO Max Screen Limit?
The HBO Max device cap cannot be overcome, and there is no method to expand the number of concurrent streams offered by HBO. HBO Max does allow you to download movies and TV series so you may watch them later without a connection. It won’t count towards the screen restriction as long as your device is not connected to the internet while you watch.
Make sure you’re using the correct profile, sign into the app on your device, and find a movie or TV show before you can download it via HBO Max. Click or tap the download symbol, which resembles an arrow pointing down, after choosing the show you wish to download. One account has a 30-item download limit, which is shared among all of your profiles. Downloads are accessible for up to 30 days, but you have 48 hours to finish watching something after you’ve started it.
