Screen limits can be just thatlimitingbut not all streaming services have the same rules here.

So, let’s discuss the screen limits of Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, and others.

A screen limit is a cap on how many separate devices can be streaming content from one account simultaneously.

Notice we said “account,” not “profile.”

Remember not to confuse account profiles with screens.

Most streaming accounts also have a profile limit, which usually ranges between four and six.

The number of screens that can stream simultaneously is fixed for each plan tier.

Users pay $7.99 monthly or $76.99 monthly for Hulu with Live TV.

Across the board, all Hulu users can only stream on two screens at a time.

However, Hulu does offer an unlimited screens add-on for an extra $9.99 monthly.

This lets you stream on as many screens as you want simultaneously, all from the same account.

Paramount+’s Screen Limit

Paramount+ allows three separate screens to stream content simultaneously from one account.

Because of this, it’s tough to get around screen limits without paying more money.

Netflix hascracked down on password-sharing already, whileDisney+andHulu announced their plans to do the samein January and February 2024.
