The exact location of the menu differs between TV models, so Get Help might appear at the top or bottom of the screen. If you cannot find Get Help or Sign out, Netflix provides a remote-control shortcut that opens an additional options menu.
Quick Answer: How Do I Log Out of Netflix on My TV?
On most smart TVs, follow these steps:
- Open the Netflix app.
- Return to the Netflix home screen.
- Press the Back button on your remote to open the menu.
- If the menu appears at the top, move left to your profile icon and select Get Help.
- If the menu appears on the left, scroll to the bottom and select Get Help.
- Select Sign out.
- Select Yes to confirm.
Netflix currently lists this as the standard sign-out process for supported smart TVs.
| Situation | Best method |
|---|---|
| You have the TV and remote | Netflix > Get Help > Sign out |
| Get Help is missing | Use the Netflix remote shortcut |
| You left the TV somewhere | Use Manage Access and Devices |
| Netflix is showing an error | Select More Details, then Sign out or Reset |
| You want to remove access from every device | Use Sign Out of All Devices |
Before You Sign Out
Signing out removes your Netflix account from the Netflix app on the TV. Your Netflix subscription is not canceled.
If you are using a TV in a hotel, rental property, friend's house, office, or another shared location, signing out before leaving is a good way to prevent the next person from opening your Netflix profile.
If you no longer have access to the TV, skip the TV instructions and use the remote sign-out method later in this guide.
How to Log Out of Netflix on a Smart TV
The standard method works across many smart TVs and streaming devices with the Netflix app. The screen layout differs, but Netflix's current instructions use the same basic path.
Step 1: Open Netflix
Launch Netflix from your TV's app menu or home screen. Wait for the Netflix home screen to load.
Step 2: Press the Back Button
Press the Back button on your TV remote. Netflix should open its navigation menu.
Depending on your TV, the menu might appear on the left side or across the top of the screen.
Step 3: Find Get Help
If your Netflix menu appears at the top, move left to your profile icon and select Get Help.
If the menu appears on the left, scroll down to the bottom and select Get Help.
Step 4: Select Sign Out
Choose Sign out from the Get Help screen.
Step 5: Confirm Sign Out
Netflix will ask you to confirm the action. Select Yes.
Step 6: Check the Result
After signing out, Netflix should return to its sign-in or profile selection screen rather than opening your account automatically.
Step-by-Step Screenshot Guide
Use the screenshots above as the visual path when following the instructions. Your TV might use a different Netflix interface, so do not worry if icons or menu positions differ slightly.
The important options are Get Help and Sign out. Netflix places these options differently on some devices, but the underlying sign-out process stays similar.
How to Log Out of Netflix on a Samsung Smart TV
Samsung TVs generally follow Netflix's standard smart TV sign-out process.
- Open Netflix.
- Return to the Netflix home screen.
- Press Back on your Samsung remote.
- If the menu is at the top, move to your profile icon.
- Select Get Help.
- Select Sign out.
- Select Yes.
On some Samsung devices, Netflix says to select Settings if you do not see Get Help.
How to Log Out of Netflix on an LG Smart TV
On most LG smart TVs, start from inside the Netflix app rather than the LG TV settings.
- Open Netflix.
- Press Back to open the Netflix menu.
- Look for Get Help.
- Select Sign out.
- Confirm by selecting Yes.
If the Netflix interface on your LG TV looks different, use the standard method in this guide. Netflix controls the sign-out menu inside the app, so the exact webOS interface is less important than finding the Netflix menu.
How to Log Out of Netflix on Sony and Android TV
Sony TVs and other Android TV devices that use the Netflix app follow the same basic process.
- Open Netflix.
- Press the Back button.
- Open Get Help.
- Select Sign out.
- Select Yes to confirm.
If Netflix is stuck on an error screen, look for More Details. Netflix lists Sign out and Reset as options on certain error screens.
How to Log Out of Netflix on Roku TV
If your Roku TV has the Netflix app, open Netflix and use the Netflix menu to find Get Help and Sign out.
Do not confuse signing out of Netflix with removing the Netflix channel from Roku. Removing an app is not the first step you need when your goal is simply to sign out of your Netflix account.
- Open Netflix.
- Press Back.
- Open Get Help.
- Select Sign out.
- Confirm the sign-out request.
How to Log Out of Netflix on Hisense and TCL TVs
Hisense and TCL TVs use different operating systems across their product ranges, so the TV menus are not identical. The Netflix app itself usually provides the relevant sign-out controls.
Start with the standard Netflix method:
- Open Netflix.
- Return to the Netflix home screen.
- Press Back.
- Open Get Help.
- Select Sign out.
- Select Yes to confirm.
If Get Help or Sign out does not appear, use the remote shortcut described below.
How to Log Out of Netflix on Apple TV
Apple TV is an exception worth separating from the general smart TV instructions. Netflix's troubleshooting documentation specifically tells Apple TV users to follow Apple TV-specific sign-out steps rather than the standard smart TV shortcut.
If Netflix is installed on an Apple TV and the normal menu does not provide the expected options, use the Netflix Help Center instructions for your Apple TV model instead of repeatedly trying the smart TV shortcut.
Can't Find Sign Out or Get Help?
This is one of the most common reasons people struggle to log out of Netflix.
If you cannot find Get Help, Settings, or Sign out, Netflix provides a remote-control shortcut.
Netflix Sign-Out Remote Shortcut
Using your TV remote, press these buttons in this exact order:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up
A Netflix options menu should appear. Depending on your device, you might see Sign out, Reset, or Deactivate. Select Sign out when available.
Important: Enter the button sequence while Netflix is open. If nothing happens, return to the Netflix home screen and try again.
How to Log Out of Netflix Remotely
You do not need physical access to the TV if you forgot to sign out and still have access to your Netflix account.
Netflix's Manage Access and Devices page lets you sign out individual devices. You can also sign out of every device linked to the account.
Sign Out of One TV Remotely
- Open your Netflix account's Manage Access and Devices page.
- Find the TV or device you want to remove.
- Open the device details using the down arrow beside the device.
- Select Sign Out.
Netflix notes that some devices might take up to 48 hours to appear. The list also does not include every device in every situation, including some devices without recent activity.
Sign Out of Every Device
If you suspect someone else has access to your Netflix account, Netflix also provides a Sign Out of All Devices option.
- Open Manage Access and Devices.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Select Sign Out of All Devices.
- Confirm the action.
Use this option carefully. It signs your Netflix account out across your connected devices rather than removing access from one TV.
Forgot to Log Out of Netflix at a Hotel or Airbnb?
This is one of the best reasons to use Netflix's remote sign-out feature.
If you watched Netflix on a hotel TV, vacation rental TV, friend's smart TV, or another temporary device and forgot to sign out, you do not need to return to the property.
Open Manage Access and Devices, find the TV, and select Sign Out. If you do not know which device is yours, review the device type, recently used profile, and last watched date and time shown by Netflix.
If you are concerned about unauthorized access and want to remove every active session, use Sign Out of All Devices.
Sign Out vs Reset vs Deactivate
Netflix sometimes shows several options in its troubleshooting menus. They do not all mean the same thing.
| Option | What it means | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Sign out | Removes your Netflix session from the device. | Use this for a normal logout. |
| Reset | Refreshes or resets Netflix-related data on the device. | Use this when troubleshooting a Netflix problem. |
| Deactivate | Disconnects the device from Netflix. | Use this when Netflix specifically directs you to deactivate the device. |
If your only goal is to leave your Netflix account on a shared TV, choose Sign out. Do not reset the TV unless you have a separate reason to do so.
Netflix Sign-Out Problems and Fixes
Netflix Does Not Show Get Help
Check the top and bottom of the Netflix menu. If Get Help is absent, try Settings if your device shows one. On some devices, Netflix places the option in a different part of the menu.
If neither option appears, use the remote shortcut:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up
Netflix Is Stuck on an Error Screen
Look for More Details. Netflix lists Sign out or Reset as options on certain error screens.
Netflix Keeps Crashing
If Netflix repeatedly closes or returns to the TV menu, restart the device first. Netflix recommends turning the device off completely, leaving it off for about 15 seconds, then turning it back on.
After restarting, open Netflix and try the normal sign-out process again.
You Removed Netflix From the TV
Removing the Netflix app is different from using the Netflix Sign out command. If you are preparing a TV for another person, use the Netflix sign-out option when possible.
You Don't Have the TV Remote
If you still have access to your Netflix account, use Manage Access and Devices to sign out the TV remotely.
What Happens After You Sign Out of Netflix?
Your Netflix account stops being signed in on the TV. The next person using the Netflix app will need to sign in before accessing your account.
Your Netflix subscription does not end when you sign out of one TV. Signing out also does not delete your Netflix account.
If you want to stop someone from using your Netflix account on every connected device, use Sign Out of All Devices from your Netflix account settings.

Does signing out of Netflix cancel my subscription?

If you still have the hotel TV, use Netflix's normal Get Help > Sign out process. If you already left, use Manage Access and Devices to sign out the TV remotely.
Why does my Netflix profile still appear after signing out?
Netflix's interface and saved device information differ between devices. If the account still appears as an available profile, check whether Netflix has fully returned to its sign-in screen. If the device continues opening your account automatically, repeat the sign-out process or use the remote sign-out option from your Netflix account.
Should I choose Reset instead of Sign out?
No, not for a normal logout. Choose Sign out. Use Reset when troubleshooting a Netflix problem or when Netflix directs you to use the option.
Final Tips
For most smart TVs, signing out of Netflix takes less than a minute:
- Open Netflix.
