To log out of Netflix on Roku, open the app and check the profile screen for a sign-out option. If that option isn't there, remove the Netflix channel from your Roku home screen and reinstall it. Or sign the device out remotely from your Netflix account online. Each method clears the saved login a different way.
We hear this question a lot from people sharing one Roku TV between roommates, kids, or a rental property. Hisense Roku TV models like the R6, R7, and R8 series run Roku's own software. The steps below work the same way on those sets as on any other Roku TV or streaming player. The tricky part is usually finding where Netflix put the sign-out option.
The 30-Second Test
Open the Netflix app on your Roku. Does it show a profile or Who's Watching screen before loading a show? If yes, Method 1 below is worth trying first. If it jumps straight into a show without showing profiles, your software likely skips the in-app option. Go straight to Method 2 or Method 3 instead.
Your Roku remote might be missing or acting up while you try these steps. HiRemote's free browser-based Roku remote lets you control the TV from your phone instead. It works with any Roku-powered TV, not just Hisense models. You can use it free at hisense-roku-tv-remote, with no app to install. It won't log you out of Netflix by itself, but it gets you to the right screen fast.
Method 1: Sign Out From Inside the Netflix App
Open the Netflix app and go to the profile screen. This usually appears before you pick a show. Highlight your profile icon and check for a sign-out or settings option nearby. Some Roku software versions place this option in a small menu next to the profile list.
This won't work on every Roku. Older software builds may not show a sign-out option here at all. If you don't see one after checking carefully, move to Method 2.
Method 2: Remove and Reinstall the Netflix Channel
From your Roku home screen, highlight the Netflix tile. Your remote has a button that opens extra options for whatever app is highlighted. Press it, then choose the option to remove the channel. This clears Netflix's saved login along with the app itself.
Once it's gone, open the Roku channel store and search for Netflix. Reinstall it, and you'll land on a fresh sign-in screen. That confirms the old session is fully cleared. This is the most reliable free fix when Method 1 doesn't show a sign-out option. If the store won't load at all, check Roku's official support site for current status.
One honest caveat: this also clears local Netflix settings saved on that Roku. Things like audio preferences inside the app reset too. Your Netflix account itself and your watch history stay untouched. Only the local app data on that device resets. For more on managing installed apps, see our guide on downloading and removing apps on Roku TV.
Method 3: Sign Out of Netflix From Your Netflix Account Online
You can also sign out your Roku remotely, without touching the TV at all. Sign in to your Netflix account from a browser on your phone or computer. Open your account settings and find the list of devices currently signed in.
Locate your Roku TV or player in that device list, then sign it out. This helps if you're selling the TV or returning a rental. It also helps if you simply can't find the remote. For Netflix's own account-level help, see Netflix's official help center.
Logging out often means someone else is about to sign in next. Typing a new password on a TV's onscreen keyboard is slow. The free HiRemote app adds a full keyboard for streaming app sign-ins. It works on Hisense Roku TV models like the R6, R7, and R8 series. That makes the next sign-in faster than pecking letters with a remote.
Method 4: Factory Reset Your Roku (Last Resort)
A factory reset signs you out of Netflix completely. But it also erases every other app, login, and setting on the device. Treat this as a last resort, not a Netflix-specific fix.
Only use this if you're giving away the whole Roku device or player. Not just for switching Netflix accounts. You'll need to set up every app again afterward. For the reset steps themselves, see our guide on resetting a Roku TV.
Which Method Should You Use?
| Method | Signs out Netflix | Affects other apps | What you need | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Method 1: In-app sign-out | Yes, when available | No | Just the remote | Fastest, if your software shows it |
| Method 2: Remove and reinstall | Yes | No | Just the remote | Most reliable free fix |
| Method 3: Sign out online | Yes, remotely | No | Phone or computer browser | No access to the TV or remote |
| Method 4: Factory reset | Yes | Yes — resets everything | Just the remote | Giving away the whole device |
Frequently Asked Questions
Does logging out of Netflix on Roku cancel my subscription?
No, logging out does not cancel your Netflix subscription. It only removes the saved login from that device. Your account, billing, and membership stay active until you cancel them separately. Cancellation happens through your Netflix account settings, not through a sign-out.
Can I log out of Netflix on Roku without a remote?
Yes, you can sign out without touching the physical remote. Sign in to Netflix from a browser on your phone or computer. Open the device list in your account settings and sign out the Roku entry. A phone-based Roku remote can also help if you still have the TV but not the clicker.
Why doesn't my Roku's Netflix app have a sign-out option?
This option's location depends on your Roku's software version, and some versions don't show it at all. If you can't find it, removing and reinstalling the Netflix channel clears the login just as completely. Signing out from your Netflix account online works too.
Will logging out delete my Netflix watch history?
No, logging out never deletes your watch history or profiles. Your history lives on Netflix's servers, tied to your account, not to the Roku. Signing back in on the same or a different device brings everything back. This applies no matter which method you use to sign out.
How do I sign out of Netflix on all my devices at once?
Sign in to your Netflix account from a browser and open account settings. Look for an option covering every signed-in device, not just one. Choosing it signs out every device connected to your account, including your Roku. This helps after a password change or if someone else is using your login.
