You may travel a lot and enjoy watching a movie or show on the hotel/Airbnb TV. Currently most hotels have smart TV on which you can directly log in your Netflix account and start streaming. Or you can also bring a Chromecast, firestick, or any other Android box, etc with you, and share hotspot from your phone. Alternatively use a USB c to HDMI cable (if your phone has the feature) with your phone.
The Netflix app is available on many hotel smart TVs. Some hotel TVs had quick (scan a QR code) access to Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and one other streaming apps. Signed into Netflix and it was automatically signed out on checkout day. There is also a big “LOG OUT” button in the Netflix UI. If there’s no option to log out on the TV app, you can also visit Netflix website > Account > Security and Privacy > Manage Access and Devices. Find the device and log out.
Netflix is available at select locations of many hotels, including:
Some people prefer not to log in to hotel devices. In this case, traveling with an Amazon/Roku stick that carries your logins on your streaming apps is also a convenient way. It doesn’t take up a lot of space, relatively cheap if it gets lost, and you don’t have to remember to log out on the TV. Just plug it into an HDMI port on the TV, connect to the hotel or Airbnb WiFi and stream. If the hotels need “sign in” to the Wifi network, connect with your phone & then share Hotspot.
If you can’t connect Amazon/Roku stick to hotel Wi-Fi, try connecting to your phone’s hotspot, which is a convenient solution for temporary or permanent access. If you travel a lot, you can also get travel router, which connects to the wifi, and broadcast wifi to your devices. It disguises how many and what type of devices are connected.
Reminder: Get a cord to plug it into the TV with, then you can lay the fire stick in front of the TV, instead of it hiding behind the TV. Now you won’t forget it when you leave.
Some TVs make it difficult to hook up Amazon /Roku sticks, so many people choose to stream with Chromecast.
Another method to watch Netflix on TV is to connect your Android or Apple mobile device to your TV. Connecting your mobile device allows you to use your TV as a display for content playing on the Netflix mobile app, or to use your mobile device as a remote control. Below you’ll find different ways to connect your mobile device to your TV. This avoids unnecessary logins & even trying to work with the clumsy TV interface.
Cast Netflix from your phone to TVs with Chromecast built-in. Chromecast built-in is available on Philips, Polaroid, Sharp, Skyworth, Soniq, Sony, Toshiba, and Vizio TVs. You can also plug in your own Chromecast or Chromecast Ultra. Note that to cast Netflix to TV, you will need Netflix Ad-free plan.
You can purchase an Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter to connect the lightning connector to HDMI, then use the HDMI cable to connect your phone to your TV.
Since many models of TVs have a USB port for playing content, you can download Netflix videos to your computer and then transfer the movie to a USB drive to play it on your hotel TV.
But before you get started, you should note that videos downloaded directly from the Netflix app cannot be transferred. They can only be played on that device via the Netflix app.
