As a tech enthusiast and long-time Roku user, I’ve often found myself needing to log out of my Netflix account on my Roku streaming device. Whether you’re troubleshooting issues, want to switch to a different account, or simply want to ensure your account is secure, knowing how to properly sign out of Netflix on your Roku is essential.

The process of logging out of Netflix on Roku varies slightly depending on the model of your device. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through the steps for signing out of Netflix on various Roku devices, including the Roku 4, 3, Streaming Stick, Express, Roku TV, Roku 2, and Roku 1.

Signing Out of Netflix on Roku 4, 3, Streaming Stick, Express, and Roku TV

For most newer Roku devices, the process of signing out of Netflix is relatively straightforward:

  1. Open the Netflix channel on your Roku and select a profile if prompted[4].
  2. Navigate to the left-hand menu and select “Get Help” or “Settings”[10][13].
  3. Choose the “Sign Out” option[4][10][13].
  4. Confirm your selection by choosing “Yes” when prompted[4][10][13].

If you’re having trouble finding the correct menus, you can use a special remote button sequence to access a quick menu[4][10]:

  • Press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up on your Roku remote
  • Select “Sign Out” from the options that appear

Signing Out of Netflix on Roku 2 and LT

For Roku 2 and LT models, you’ll need to remove the Netflix channel entirely to sign out[7][14]:

  1. From your Roku home screen, highlight the Netflix channel
  2. Press the star (*) button on your remote to open channel options[7][14]
  3. Select “Remove channel” and confirm your selection[7][14]

To add Netflix back later, go to the Channel Store and reinstall the app[7][14]. You’ll then be able to sign in with a different account.

Signing Out of Netflix on Roku 1

Roku 1 devices require you to deactivate Netflix directly through your account settings[8][14]:

  1. Go to the Roku home screen and navigate to Settings
  2. Select “Netflix Settings”[8][14]
  3. Choose “Deactivate this player from my Netflix account”[8][14]
  4. Confirm by selecting “Yes” when prompted

To use Netflix again on your Roku 1, you’ll need to reactivate the device and sign in with your account credentials.

Using the Roku Mobile App to Sign Out of Netflix

If you have the Roku mobile app installed on your smartphone, you can also use it to sign out of Netflix on your Roku device[13]:

  1. Launch the Roku app and open the menu
  2. Tap on Netflix
  3. Select “Get Help” from the left-hand side
  4. Tap “Sign Out” and confirm your action

Important Considerations

It’s worth noting that signing out of Netflix on one Roku device will not affect other Roku devices you own[10]. However, removing the Netflix channel from a Roku device will remove it from all other devices connected to the same Roku account[10].

Additionally, deactivating your Roku means the device will no longer have permission to access your Netflix account[8]. To use Netflix on that device again, you’ll need to reauthorize it and sign in with your account credentials[8].

Conclusion

Logging out of your Netflix account on a Roku streaming device is a simple process that varies slightly depending on your device model. For most newer Roku devices, you can sign out directly from the Netflix app’s settings or help menu. Older models like the Roku 2 and LT require removing the Netflix channel, while the Roku 1 involves deactivating the device from your Netflix account settings.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can easily and securely sign out of Netflix on your Roku, giving you greater control over your streaming experience and account security. Whether you’re troubleshooting issues or simply want to switch to a different account, knowing how to properly log out of Netflix on your Roku is a valuable skill for any streaming enthusiast.
