why can't i use on the tv & on my phone without one shutting the other off?

I'm in my studio trying to work. My 8 year old is at home trying to do her chores. When she turns on her playlist on my account on our Roku TV, it stops the music I am playing on my phone and switches to her control. I also don't get to hear music. I unlinked the device, we both restarted, and the same thing happened. This is either an attempt to get more control of one user per account done in bad taste, or a complete glitch.

I have a student account, am in my 40's, and I am a parent. The idea that I can only have my account running in one instance globally is ridiculous. You're trying to end password sharing, and I get it, but I'm not buying my kid an account on the off chance she wants to do chores when I'm working.

Hey @Heathersyren ,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

Unfortunately, you can only play on one device at a time, per account.

Let me know if you have any other questions! 🙂
