Many people share streaming accounts with friends who want to watch the latest shows and movies. This can be great for consumers, but streaming companies don't like missing out on potential customers.
It isn't any different. If you pay an extra fee, you can get rid of the hard limit on how many devices you can stream on.
The guide shows how many people can watch at once on a single account.
The amount of people you can stream at once depends on your account and add-ons you subscribe to.
Only two people can watch a single account at the same time. If anyone else tries to log in, they will get an error message. You and your spouse can watch what you want, but your kids will have to wait.
There is a two-person limit.
You can get the unlimited screens add-on if you have a lot of people in your household. It costs more than your Live TV fees.
The add-on has some limits. Your Home Network is the internet connection in your house. You can only watch three streams at a time if you are not connected to the Home Network.
You will lose Live TV access if you don't open the Hulu app on your phone at least once a month.
Premium channels like Cinemax, STARZ, and Showtime still have limits even if you have the unlimited screens add-on. Only five people can watch premium channels at once, and only three of them can be on mobile devices.
In short:
If you find yourself running into the limits a lot, consider getting a second account.
