Using Profiles provides a simple way to:

• Get personalised content based upon just what you are watching.
• Find where you stopped watching a movie or series episode.
• Bookmark movies and series that you want to watch later.
• Ensure that content is suitable for the user age of the Profile.

A subscriber to the Showmax service can have a total of 6 Profiles associated with their account.

Profile 1

This is the Profile for the account holder that first registered to the service and is associated with all billing and communication from Showmax. This Profile can be edited - but not deleted.

Profile 2

This is a pre-made Kids Profile for you to use. At default, it is set to display content for users 7-9 years old. This Profile can be edited or deleted by the main account holder.

Profiles 3/4/5/6

These 3 remaining Profiles can be created by anyone using the service. However, once created these Profiles can only be edited or deleted by the main account holder.

Profile creation or editing can be managed from the ‘Profiles’’ screen. This screen can be found by:

• Clicking on the user Profile icon that is visible on the navigation.
• Select ‘’Profiles’’ - you will then see the ‘’ add’’ Profiles icon and the ‘’Manage Profiles’’ button.

Or

• When the ‘’Profiles’’ screen is automatically shown to you on entry or exit of certain areas of the service - you will then see the ‘’ add’’ Profiles icon and the ‘’Manage Profiles’’ button.

It is important to note that whilst any user can create a new Profile - only the master account holder for the Showmax service can edit or delete a Profile.

Profile switching can be done in 3 ways.

• Click on the user Profile icon that is visible on the navigation and select the Profile you want to switch too.
• When the ‘’Profiles’’ screen is automatically shown when navigating the service, you can switch Profiles.
• If you have not created any other accounts and click to enter the ‘’Kids’’ section, we automatically switch you into the pre-made ‘’Kids’’ Profile.
