You can sign in to HBO Max on different devices, but the number of simultaneous streams is limited for security reasons.

What to do

If you're getting a streaming on too many devices message, do the following:

  1. Sign in to HBO Max on your phone, tablet, or computer.
  2. Choose your profile (upper right), then do one of the following:
    • Phone or tablet: Tap the Settings icon Settings icon (upper left), then tap or scroll to Devices, and tap Manage Devices (if available).

    Important
    If you don't recognize a device, see Stop someone from using your account.
  4. Take note of all devices with a recent Last Used time.
  5. To start streaming on another device, you'll need to stop streaming on a device that has been used recently. If you stop streaming on a device, you may need to wait a few minutes before you can start streaming on another device.
