When it comes to OTT platforms, the first name that comes to mind is Netflix. For those of you who have not heard of it, Netflix is an American video streaming service that started off as a regular DVD renting service back in 1997. Today, Netflix commands the lion’s share of possession in the streaming market followed closely by the likes of Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar.
After getting a good run as a DVD rental service, Netflix introduced Video streaming and on-demand video services in 2007. The company had its first expansion to Canada in 2010 followed by a rapid expansion to Latin America. They entered the content production business in 2013 when they debuted their first original series ‘House of Cards’ which was very well received and is streamed by users even today. In January 2016, it expanded to an additional 130 countries and then operated in 190 countries.
Netflix is now available as a built-in or downloadable application on most smart devices today, including Smart TVs, smartphones, laptops, and more. The app is free to download but in order to enjoy the content on offer, you will have to subscribe to one of the available plans.
Once you subscribe to one of Netflix’s monthly plans, the subscription keeps running as long as you pay the monthly charge. If, for some reason, your mode of payment does not work for a particular month, your membership is kept on hold until you fix the problem or change the mode of payment. However, if you think that the membership is not something you want for the time being, or if you are not really interested in what Netflix has to offer, then you also have the option to cancel the membership.
In this tutorial, we will show you, step-by-step, how to cancel your Netflix membership. Please note that in order to cancel your membership, you must be on thawed version of Netflix, as this operation cannot be done through the mobile application yet.
Step 1. Open the web browser on your computer and head to the Netflix website.
Step 2. On the home page, click on the profile icon at the top right hand side of the window.
Step 3. From the drop down menu, click on the ‘Account‘ option. This will open a new page that contains all the relevant information about your Netflix account as well as details relating to your membership.
Step 4. On the account page, click on the ‘Cancel Membership‘ button.
Once you confirm the operation, your Netflix membership will be cancelled. If you decide to cancel your membership mid-month, then your membership will be active till the end of the month, after which, you will not be allowed to access the contents on Netflix unless you re-subscribe to the platform.
