Can you still share Netflix in 2026?
Yes, it’s still possible! You can still enjoy and share your favorite movies and shows with family and friends using the right subscription and the “extra member” option. This does come with an increased cost of €5.99 to €6.99 per additional member (with or without ads), but you’ll still have the option toadd members outside your household, depending on the plan you choose. We’ll explain everything below!
💡 You can ask the additional members to contribute to the costs. Netflix doesn’t offer a way to split payments, but with the subscription-sharing platform Sharesub, you can easily request automatic monthly contributions from the group.
What is an extra member?
The owner of a Netflix account can purchase an Extra Member option and invite people outside their household to use Netflix. An extra member gets:
- their own account and password.
- a unique profile,
- a dedicated video stream.
So, they have a fully independent account! The only difference is that this account is paid for by the main account holder, costing them €5.99 per month.
- With the Standard plan, you can invite 1 extra member.
- With the Premium plan, you can invite 2 (for 2 x €5.99).
This is a significant extra cost, but if you share your Netflix account on Sharesub, the additional member covers part of your main subscription fee and the full cost of the extra member option, which helps reduce your Netflix expenses, while still being a great deal for everyone! 😃
➡️ All you need to do is create your share for “Netflix + extra members” on Sharesub and send the link to your friends so the platform can handle all the monthly payments. By sharing your extra member slots this way, you’ll cut your Netflix costs by several euros.
How do I add an Extra Member on Netflix?
- On your Account page, go to the option “Buy an extra member slot.”
- This page will appear, and you can click “Next.”
- Check and confirm the new payment amount and the new billing date.
- Select “Activate the extra member“.
- Set up your extra member by providing their name, email address, and your name. (Netflix will use this information to send them the invitation email.) Indicate whether you want totransfer an existing profile or let the extra member create a new profile.
The extra member will receive an email from Netflix with a unique invitation link (you’ll get a notification once they’ve activated their account).
You can also click on “Extra members” > “Manage extra members” to copy the invitation link and send it directly to the person via the Sharesub chat.
When will Netflix ban account sharing?
There are no plans to do so, since Netflix has actually introduced a new system that allows account sharing outside the household in exchange for a paid option.
Account sharing is now done through this new feature with the extra member option. However, it’s not possible to share outside your household without this option.
This method is secure and doesn’t require sharing your email or password—you just need to send an invitation via email. Your new extra member will have access to the same features and content as you 😉
⚠️ Note, however: this member must be in the same country as you for it to work.
How can I keep sharing Netflix?
This extra member feature allows you to continue sharing access to your Netflix account in compliance with the terms of use.
However, not all accounts are subject to the same rules depending on your region of residence or even the device you use. In these cases, the option may not be available.
How will Netflix monitor accounts?
Netflix hasn’t specifically disclosed its monitoring methods. However, we know they have access to your IP address and other usage data. More precisely, they track login history, the IP addresses of the devices you’ve used to log in, the associated locations, and the profiles used on different devices.
This can sometimes lead to unintended blocks, especially if your IP address changes frequently, as is the case with Orange or SFR internet boxes. This likely complicates Netflix’s enforcement, so blocks are expected to be rare.
