-Hi.
I'm Eddy and I work on the user experience here at Netflix.
We work hard to give the best TV show and movie suggestions for you.
However, if your kids or other family members use the same Netflix account,
the suggestions may be a mash up of everyone's taste.
As a result, we may suggest kids' shows when you're interested in watching a
thriller or romantic comedy.
We have solved that problem.
Now you can create separate Netflix profiles for each person
in your household, giving each individual their own suggestions.
With profiles, TV show and movie suggestions on Netflix will be specific
for each person.
So even if your kids love watching animated ponies, or your spouse just
can't get enough of blockbuster action films, when you sit down to watch
Netflix, we'll know that you might prefer something different, like a
riveting tale of supernatural teenagers.
Not only can you have a different profile for each member of your family,
you can add one for a combination of watchers, or even for different moods.
You can add up to five different profiles at one time.
Adding profiles to your account is easy.
When you sign up for Netflix on the web, we'll ask you,
who will be watching Netflix?
If you're already a member, you can add profiles from this screen
when you start Netflix, or go to Manage Profiles page.
Once you've added your profiles, you can choose who is watching
when you start Netflix.
In addition to the separate movie and TV show suggestions, you can customize each
profile with a different icon to give it some personal flair.
Each profile can also be connected to Facebook, so you can get suggestions
based on what your friends are watching.
If you connect to Facebook,
we'll use your Facebook profile photo as your icon.
Thanks for watching and enjoy profiles on Netflix.
