Sharing an account in a VOD service is something that many, many people do, especially to share expenses. But there are also those who do it out of generosity, sharing the account with their parents, a brother, a partner, etc. The problem? That the video-on-demand platforms that allow this sharing of accounts have a limit of devices on which to use them.

Kick a freeloader out of your Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ account

In other words: One day you may not be able to watch a Netflix premiere because the limit of sharing your account on several devices has jumped, and you, who are the one who pays after all, are left out. Or maybe your account has been hacked and you have a parasite scrounging you free Disney+. Be that as it may, we are going to tell you how to find out if they are using your account and more importantly: How to throw the 'ban hammer' on them.

On Amazon Prime Video

1. Open the Prime Video website -or the mobile app
2. Look for your account access in the upper right corner
3. Click on your name to display the menu
4. Hit 'Account and Settings'
5. Look for the option 'My Devices' -the seventh from the left
6. Dale, you will see a list that includes all the devices on which you signed in with your Prime Video subscription, whether they are Android mobiles, iOS, laptops, tablets, etc.
7. To 'kick' someone from your account, simply hit 'Unregister' on the device in question that you want to unlink from your Prime Video account.

Have you ever gotten the 'your account is already in use' error? Sometimes, when using Netflix, it usually happens that when playing content, a message similar to these has appeared:

- Your Netflix account is in use on another device.

- There are too many people using the account at the moment.

- Sorry, there are too many people using your account right now.

- Your Netflix account is used on too many devices.

That means your Netflix account has reached the limit of active streams. In order to solve it:

1. Open Netflix in a web browser or the mobile app
2. Find your profile -the avatar icon in the upper right corner- and click to display the menu
3. Look for the 'Account' option, enter it
4. Scroll down until you see 'Viewing Activity': All the content viewed with your account will be displayed here, if one appears that you have not seen, it is because someone else with access to it has seen it.
5. Now, in the same list of 'Account' options, scroll down to the bottom and look for 'Recent device streaming activity'
6. By giving it you will see the devices in which your account has been logged in, login dates, locations and IP addresses.
7. Go back to 'Account', and look for the 'Sign out of all devices' option. With this you will log out your account from all the devices in which you have logged in with it. It would be enough to log in again in the one you want to use, although it is recommended that you change your password first.

on Disney+

Unlike Netflix or Prime Video, on Disney+ you won't see a list of devices you're signed in to with your account, but the system also has a device sign-out feature that can help you sign out of your Disney+ account on the go. multiple devices at once.

1. Sign in to Disney+
2. Click your Profile in the top right corner (bottom right on mobile devices)
3. In the “Account Details” section (“Account” on mobile), click “Sign Out on All Devices”
4. Enter your current password and click "Logout".
5. You will be immediately signed out of your current device and kick out everyone who is connected without your permission.
6. Wait up to 4 hours to make sure this worked for all other devices. And when you log in again, change the password first.
