Unless you’re an ad-free user with legacy casting tech.

Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page

    I was gonna say this could be a way to make account sharing more annoying, so say if you go to a friend’s house and you gotta fiddle to log in with the remote instead of picking up your phone and starting a cast they might be motivated to get their own subscription.
    But it seems you can still log into an account by scanning a QR Code, so… ehh???

      My understanding is they already made it more annoying. Your devices have to connect to the home accounts “home” wifi within a certain amount of time or that device gets locked out.

      I quit Netflix when they announced the pilot program for removing account sharing in South America, and I stand by that decision to this day.
