Netflix allows you to have up to five profiles associated with your account, so every member of your family (in a family of five or fewer, that is) can have their own Netflix history, preferences, and recently watched shows list.
When you start the Netflix app on Roku, you’re given the opportunity to choose the profile you want to use, but it’s also possible to change profiles during your Netflix session.
