How to Add a Friend as an Extra Member: Max Feature Tutorial

When it comes to streaming services, the options seem endless—Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, and Max, just to name a few. With so many channels to choose from, finding something to watch is never a problem. The only downside? The cost of all those subscriptions can add up quickly.

In the past, sharing passwords for streaming services was pretty common. But as businesses started focusing more on profits, they cracked down on password sharing. While it may have been fun to share your favorite shows with friends and family, it’s important to follow the rules set by the streaming services.

If you’re looking to share your Max subscription with someone outside your household, you’re in luck. Max now offers an extra-member feature for $7.99 a month, allowing you to add one person to your account. This means your family member or friend will have their own separate account with their own login information, all under the umbrella of your primary account.

To take advantage of this feature, you need to be a direct subscriber to Max—bundle subscribers aren’t eligible. Simply log in, head to your settings, purchase the add-on, and send an invitation to the person you want to add to your account. It’s a simple process that gives your loved one access to all the great content on Max without breaking the bank.

While sharing a streaming account can be a great way to enjoy shows together, remember that each service has its own rules about password sharing. So, while adding a friend to your Max subscription is a fun and affordable option, make sure to stick to the guidelines to keep your streaming experience hassle-free.
