This means that if five people have profiles on the same HBO Max account, only three of those users can be streaming at any one moment in time. That said, there's a hitch involved, as HBO Max only allows up to three concurrent streams from the same account at any given time. Profiles can also be tailored to kids or adults, with parental controls available for the former. Up to five distinct profiles can be created as part of a single HBO Max account, making it theoretically possible to share with four other friends or family members.

Notably, HBO Max allows different user profiles to be added to one account, a feature found on most streaming services, but curiously never added to HBO Now, despite user demand.
