Sign out of Netflix on Roku from the app menu
To sign out of Netflix on Roku, open the Netflix app, scroll to the top of the screen, and select your profile icon in the upper right corner. A menu will appear with options including "Sign out" — select that option and confirm when prompted. Netflix will return you to the login screen.
This method works on all Roku devices that support the Netflix app, including Roku streaming sticks, Roku boxes, and Roku TVs. The process takes about 30 seconds and immediately ends your session on that device.
If you do not see a profile icon in the upper right, you may be on an older version of the Netflix app. In that case, scroll down through the menu options until you find "Sign out" or "Log out" listed at the bottom of the settings menu.
Key Takeaways
- Open Netflix on your Roku, find the profile icon in the upper right corner, and select "Sign out" from the menu that appears.
- Signing out on one Roku device does not sign you out on other devices — you must repeat the process on each one separately.
- If you cannot find a sign-out option in the app, you can remove Netflix from your Roku entirely and reinstall it to force a new login.
- Restarting your Roku device does not sign you out of Netflix — only using the sign-out option in the app will end your session.
What happens when you sign out
When you sign out of Netflix on a Roku device, that device is no longer connected to your Netflix account. The next person to use that Roku will see the Netflix login screen and will need your email and password to watch anything.
Signing out on one Roku does not affect your Netflix account on other devices. If you have Netflix open on a phone, tablet, computer, or a different Roku, those sessions remain active. You must sign out separately on each device if you want to end all sessions.
Your Netflix account itself remains active and will continue to charge your payment method on your regular billing date. Signing out of a device is different from canceling your account — it only removes access from that specific Roku.
Remove and reinstall Netflix if sign-out is not working
If the sign-out option does not appear or does not work, you can remove the Netflix app from your Roku and reinstall it. This forces a fresh login and is often faster than troubleshooting menu issues.
To remove Netflix, go to your Roku home screen, highlight the Netflix app, press the Options button on your remote (it looks like a star or three dots), and select "Remove channel." Confirm the removal when prompted. Then go to the Roku Channel Store, search for Netflix, and select "Add channel" to reinstall it. When you open Netflix after reinstalling, you will be at the login screen.
This method also works if Netflix is frozen or not responding properly. Reinstalling takes about two minutes and resets the app to its default state.
Sign out of all devices at once from Netflix.com
If you want to sign out of Netflix on all devices simultaneously — including all Roku devices, phones, tablets, and computers — you can do this from the Netflix website without touching your Roku.
Go to Netflix.com on any computer or phone, sign in to your account, and go to Account Settings. Scroll down to "Your devices" or "Sign out of all devices" and select that option. Netflix will end all active sessions everywhere except the device you are currently using to make the change.
This is useful if you have lost access to a device, sold a Roku, or want to force everyone off your account at once. The change takes effect immediately, and anyone trying to watch Netflix on any device will be sent back to the login screen.
Difference between signing out and removing the app
Signing out keeps the Netflix app on your Roku but disconnects it from your account. The app remains in your app list and takes up a small amount of storage. Removing the app deletes it entirely from your device.
If you plan to use Netflix again on that Roku soon, signing out is faster — you just enter your password next time. If you do not plan to use it again or want to free up space, removing the app is the better choice. You can always reinstall Netflix later from the Roku Channel Store.
Neither action affects your Netflix subscription or your account on other devices. Both are reversible — you can sign back in or reinstall the app whenever you want.
Troubleshooting when sign-out does not appear
On some older Roku models or outdated Netflix app versions, the profile menu may not have a visible sign-out option. If you scroll through the menu and do not see it, try updating the Netflix app first. Go to the Roku home screen, highlight Netflix, press Options, and select "Check for updates."
If updating does not help, the remove-and-reinstall method described above is your most reliable option. Reinstalling the app ensures you have the current version with all menu options available.
You can also check your Roku model and Netflix app version in your device settings to confirm you are running compatible software. Roku devices released after 2015 support current Netflix versions without issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does signing out of Netflix on Roku sign me out everywhere?
No. Signing out on one Roku only affects that device. Your Netflix account remains active on your phone, computer, tablet, and any other Roku devices. You must sign out separately on each device, or use the "Sign out of all devices" option on Netflix.com to end all sessions at once.
Will restarting my Roku sign me out of Netflix?
No. Restarting your Roku device does not sign you out of Netflix. Your session remains active, and Netflix will resume where you left off when you turn the Roku back on. Only using the sign-out option in the Netflix app menu will end your session.
Can I sign out of Netflix without a remote?
You can use the Roku mobile app as a remote control on your phone to navigate Netflix and select the sign-out option. Download the official Roku app, connect it to your Roku device, and use your phone screen as a remote. If you do not have the Roku app, removing and reinstalling Netflix is your next option.
What if I forgot my Netflix password and cannot sign back in?
Go to Netflix.com on any computer or phone and select "Forgot password?" on the login screen. Netflix will send a password reset link to the email address on your account. After you reset your password, you can sign back in on your Roku using your new password.
Does signing out delete my Netflix watch history?
No. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings remain on your Netflix account. Signing out only disconnects that device from your account. When you sign back in with the same profile, everything will be exactly as you left it.
