NFT: Need help regarding using a Firestick in an Airbnb

montanagiant : 5/25/2020 11:54 am
So we set up the FS in an Airbnb we own. We want people to be able to use it to watch Netflix and other streaming services, but at the same time we don't want access to our personal Netflix info nor the ability to buy movies from Amazon Prime.

Is it possible to set up a FS to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance
I believe you can put a code

Anytime an attempt at purchase is made. Also I don’t your personal info could be gathered from the Netflix app. You have to go online for that.
just log out

of your account from Netlfix.

I rented a house where the owners had Roku's on each TV. enters could access all the apps, but had to log in with their own accounts.

Some forgot to log out, so if they do people can continue to use their accounts, but as the owner if you log out of all the apps then the renters can use the firestick and watch netlfix, amazon prime, HBOgo, etc. with their own credentials.

You just leave them the wi-fi info.

We want to be able to offer it via our account because in our neck of the woods it's mainly older people renting it out. We don't want to pay for Cable or Satellite.
create a sperate account through amazon

to link the fire stick too then download a couple of the apps you want people to have access too and then lock everything with the pin to prevent any purchases dont sign into any of the apps. Also dont use that one yourself.
