A device can be linked to your Movistar Plus+ account while it’s idle. For a simultaneous playback message, check the allowed number of streams for your offer and look at which devices are actually playing in Mi cuenta, then Dispositivos.
Use the allowance for the product you have
Movistar Plus describes two simultaneous streams for Planes Libres in the same or different locations. The Plan Gratuito has no simultaneous viewing. For miMovistar, the number depends on the TV pack. Identify that pack before applying the numbers from the standalone product page.
Movistar’s device help describes a household case with up to three app devices on the home Movistar network plus one outside, with the set-top box considered separately. It describes one simultaneous device stream for satellite TV. If an allowance is unclear, use the account’s current product name and the network each device is using.
See which linked devices are playing
In the Movistar Plus app or browser, open Mi cuenta and then Dispositivos. Movistar’s device help calls a device linked if it has accessed the account with your credentials. A connected device in the simultaneous-viewing explanation is one currently playing content.
The operator’s knowledge base shows how to check playback status and rename an entry. That is useful if the list contains multiple similar smart TVs. If someone is still using a screen, ask them to stop playback or use the stop control shown in the device area before retrying your programme.
| What you see | Action |
|---|---|
| A known device is playing | Finish or stop the other stream, then retry. |
| A known device is listed but idle | Keep it linked if you use it. Compare current playback with the account allowance. |
| A device is unfamiliar | Use the unlink action and follow Movistar’s password change guidance. |
Use the playback message to narrow the request
A family member at a second address may be using the outside-home stream while a person on the home network sees a different result. Record whether the device is using the household connection, another network or a standalone plan. If the message continues after playback stops, give Movistar the plan name, device and on-screen wording.
Movistar says it may send a notification when a new device accesses the account. If you see an unfamiliar entry, it directs you to unlink it and change your password from Mi cuenta. This is a separate task from releasing a legitimate active stream.
