What does Simultaneous connection allowance mean?
A simultaneous connection allowance is the permitted number of active viewing sessions at one time under an account. It is separate from the number of installed apps.
Why it matters
Count overlapping playback rather than every television, phone and computer owned by the household. A device left playing in the background can still be relevant even when nobody is watching it. The allowance does not by itself establish household-sharing permissions, app compatibility or rights to resell individual sessions. Keep those conditions separate and ask about the actual arrangement before relying on a numerical limit.
