Different App accounts on different tvs

Jump to solution

I have my roku account on three different rokus. Can my daughter use her credentials on different apps (prime, hbo, hulu) on one of the tvs without the other two changing from my credentials?

Regarding Prime Video  HBO Max, and Hulu, these are "per-device" logins so you can Sign-out from your credentials and then Sign-in with the daughter's credentials on one TV/Roku device without affecting your other two Roku devices.  (you will of course need to sign-in again with your own credentials to again use this particular TV with your account - only 1 login at a time).

The Sign-out option for both Prime Video and HBO Max are located under each channel/app's corresponding Settings (gear icon).  For Hulu, the Sign-out is under the Profile.

@mossymissy   If you use your Roku account on all three devices probably not.  It may depend on each app but likely will change to her credentials on all three devices.   I would just do a factory reset of the device you want the other credentials on.  Then have your daughter login with her Roku account email.  That will have no effect on the other two Roku devices.  If your daughter does not have a Roku account she can create one free.  The only concern that I can see is if you are subscribed to something through Roku she will not have access to that app.
