HBO Max is a streaming service that offers an extensive library of movies, series, and more. The service is especially popular because it has a rather extensive selection of exclusive content, such as “Game of Thrones”, “The Sopranos”, “Watchmen”, and many others. Also, most users were attracted by the fact that subscribers of HBO Max will have access to all the Warner Bros. films that will be released in 2021. If you have access to so much content you will want to share it with your family and friends. But do you know how many people you can transfer your account to and how many concurrent views you can produce from one HBO Max subscription? Let’s explore this.
How many profiles can be added to HBO Max
The HBO Max service offers its users to have up to 5 different profiles per account. Each profile has the same rights as the main profile and each profile has its own viewing history, viewing recommendations, and favorites. Also, the service HBO Max has a very convenient system to switch between the profiles. When logging into the service you can select the profile you want, just in case if you need to change the profile, you can do this in the settings. But whether all five profiles can simultaneously stream movies or shows, about this we will talk further.
How many users can watch HBO Max at the same time
Up to 3 devices can watch the streaming in the HBO Max service. If you want to start streaming on a fourth device, you will receive a message that too many devices are streaming at the same time. And you will only be able to start watching online after one of the users has disconnected. It may seem to you that simultaneous streaming to 3 devices isn’t enough, but it’s completely wrong. If you compare it with other services you will see a small advantage of the HBO Max subscription.
For example, Netflix’s standard subscription offers up to 2 users for simultaneous viewing, exactly the same as Hulu. Amazon Prime Video – offer up to 3 streams per account and only two for the same content. The only serious competitor in the number of simultaneous streams is the service Apple TV +, which allows you to stream up to 6 devices simultaneously.
Is it possible to bypass the limit of 3 simultaneous streams
Unfortunately, you can’t extend the limit on the number of simultaneous views. But there is an excellent alternative solution to this problem.HBO Max gives you the possibility to download movies and TV series that you like to your device and then watch them offline. HBO max gives you the possibility to download movies and TV series that you like to your device and then watch them offline. In case three users are already watching the broadcast at the same time, you can play the downloaded material and watch it without any problems.
On one HBO Max account you can upload up to 30 things and this limit is the same for all profiles. For example, if your account has 4 profiles, then the total amount of uploaded material for all 4 profiles mustn’t exceed 30 things. Your uploads are stored for 30 days and once you start watching for example a movie, you will have 48 hours to watch it.
