How to Set up Profiles and Manage Multiple Users

How to Set up Profiles

The first step is setting up viewer profiles on your computer. So log in to your account. If this is the first time you are trying it, you should see the below screen. When it pops up, click Add Profile.

Just type in the name of the person you want to add and click Continue.

If it’s an account for your kid, check the box that it’s a profile for kids under 12 if that’s appropriate. That will restrict the type of content they access to sub PG-13 levels.

Repeat the process for each viewer you have at home — just type in every name and note if you want to restrict access to PG-13 or below and if the profile is for kids under 12. Click Continue.

After creating the profiles, it’s easy to switch among them. Just click the current profile in the upper right corner of the screen.

We let you make changes later as needed. To get a list of profiles, delete profiles or names or avatars, or change access levels, just click Manage Profiles.

If you’re in a busy home, you’ll appreciate knowing how to set up profiles and manage them for everyone there. It’s nice to just sit down and start watching without having to scroll through a bunch of crap you’re not interested in but other folks have set up. And no more Goosebumps. Unless you feel like it.
