Can I have more than one user signed in on my TV?

Yes, on most TVs you can. Each user will need to have their own BBC account.

To sign in an additional user:

  1. Open the BBC iPlayer TV app. If you're already in the app and using iPlayer, select your name on the top left to be taken to the account screen
  2. On the 'Select who's watching' screen, select Add child or Add adult
  3. A new adult user will have to sign in at bbc.com/tvcode using their own BBC account details.
  4. Once the new user has signed in using their own BBC account login info, they can enter the code shown on the TV screen. After a short time, they will be logged into iPlayer on the TV.

You can see the names of everyone signed in on your TV on the Select who's watching page.

How will I know who is signed in on my TV?

Each time you launch the app, you'll be asked to select who's watching. When in a profile, the signed-in user’s display name will appear on the top left corner, at the top of the menu.

I don't have the 'Add a user' option

Not all TVs will have the option to add multiple accounts. This is because software and technology vary greatly across different TVs, models and manufacturers, and not all TVs have the same capabilities.

If you can't see the 'Add adult' option, you can either continue with the account that is signed in, or remove that account and sign in as a different user.

How do I sign out of an account on my TV?

To sign out of an account on your TV, head to the 'Select who's watching' page, choose the account you wish to remove and select 'Remove' underneath.

Child profiles can't be removed in this way as they are connected to the adult account. To remove child profiles from your account, have a look here: Remove a child profile
