How to create a Netflix account

You can log in to your Netflix account through the website, mobile apps, or by selecting the Netflix channel on your smart TV. Most streaming devices, like Roku, require users to sign up for Netflix via the web, while other devices (such as Apple TV) will guide you through the setup process directly on the TV. Let's explore how to log in to Netflix and start streaming on any device.

Visit www.netflix.com on your browser. No matter what device you're using, registering for a Netflix account on Netflix.com is simple. Plus, you'll get a one-month free trial as a new member.

• Although it's a free trial, you’ll still need to provide a credit card or a payment method, such as PayPal or a Netflix prepaid card.
• You won’t be charged for the service if you cancel your membership before the free trial ends. Netflix will send an email reminder a few days before the trial period expires, giving you a chance to cancel in time.

Click on the 'Join Free for a Month' button. You'll go through several screens to complete the registration process.

Click 'See the Plans' to view available options. The names of the available streaming plans will appear along with brief descriptions and pricing information.

Choose a streaming plan and click 'Continue'. Netflix offers three different options:

• Basic: A low-cost plan that allows you to watch Netflix on one device at a time. Consider Basic if you don't need to share your account. This plan does not include HD (High Definition) video.
• Standard: With the Standard plan, you can watch HD-quality videos on two screens simultaneously. If you share your password, both users can stream HD content at the same time.
• Premium: This plan allows up to 4 people to watch simultaneously. Ultra HD is a step above standard HD and is ideal for 4k resolution displays.
