Streaming is all about convenience — but that doesn't mean it's without its limits. Take your HBO Max account: there are limits on the number of profiles you can have per account and the number of devices you  can stream at once.

Here's what you need to know about those watch limits, and how to sign out of other devices so you can keep streaming your favorite TV shows. 

How many devices can stream HBO Max?

You can stream on up to three separate devices at once using a single HBO Max account. If you go beyond that, you will be notified that you are streaming on too many devices.

In that case, you'd have to go into your account settings and manage the devices connected to your account (keep in mind that you can only manage adult profiles).

How many profiles can I have on HBO Max?

You can have up to five profiles on an HBO Max account — this includes both adult and kid profiles.

As long as you don't already have five profiles, you can add a profile from the HBO Max website.
