You might be asking yourself: What is Netflix? Netflix is one of the top streaming services for TV, meaning it uses your internet connection to allow you to watch its collection of shows and movies on your phone, tablet or television. In short, it’s a new way to watch television but nothing to feel overwhelmed about. This is my short and easy guide to understanding the popular streaming platform to get you up and running in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Netflix is a great way for seniors to stay entertained and connected with friends and family, even if they don’t use technology very often. And it can be had anywhere the app or a computer is available. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use Netflix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you’ll need to create a Netflix account. You can do this by going to Netflix.com or by downloading the app from the App Store and clicking on the “Sign Up” button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After entering your email address, you’ll then need to provide your name, date of birth, and billing information in the next step. A credit card is a good option here like with any online shopping as it enables you to dispute any suspicious behavior if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And then, you’ll need to select one of their plans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As it says, you can cancel on a month-to-month basis, so don’t feel too trapped when making your decision here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For most seniors, I’d guess one of the two basic packages would fit your needs. They both only allow one screen viewing on one device at a time, they both stream in high definition, but the big difference is with ads or without. As for downloading, if you think you may want to download a show to your phone to be able to watch offline at any point (on a car ride, on a plane, etc.), that may factor into your decision making here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other people who live with you may also use your account. In this case, Standard allows two devices to watch at the same time, and Premium allows four. Standard comes with a better viewing resolution, and Premium the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, you’ll need to create a password. You can always change this later, and your device can remember it for you. But it’s still a good idea to write it down somewhere safe and secure for future use, like in a password notepad or something. Finally, Netflix will ask you to sign in…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sign in using your email address and password, and make sure “Remember me” is checked. There’s no need to log in and log out all the time, and this will enable the service to remember your specific device.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
