Connection Limit Reached: How Simultaneous Connections Work

Problem summary

A connection is one stream playing at the same time. A 1-connection plan lets you install the app on several devices, but only one can watch at a time. “Max connections reached” means another stream is still active on your account.

Likely causes

  • Another device on your account is still playing — including one left on in another room
  • A stream didn’t close properly after you exited the app
  • Multi-view or picture-in-picture uses an extra connection for each window
  • Your account details were shared with someone else

Step-by-step diagnosis

  1. 1List every device that has your login. Is any of them playing right now?
  2. 2Wait 2–5 minutes after stopping playback elsewhere — the server may need a moment to release the connection.

Safe corrective actions

  1. 1Stop playback on other devices and close the player app fully.
  2. 2Avoid multi-view features on a single-connection plan.
  3. 3If you regularly watch on more screens at once, upgrade to a plan with more connections.
  4. 4If you suspect your details are being used by someone else, contact support to reset them.

Check that it’s fixed

  • Start playback on one device, then on a second; the second should work only if your plan includes 2+ connections.
