How do I Set up Apple TV/Roku Stick/ Fire Stick for guests?

We have all of the above devices and are considering making one of them available to guests.  The question is how do hosts set these items up without giving guests access to their personal items (e.g. photos, music, networked devices) and/or potential charges (movie, music, TV show, or app purchases)?

 

Do hosts set up these items with their own accounts and hope guests don't misuse them OR

are guests required to enter their own information?  If guests enter their own information, how often do they forget to clear it out prior to departure?  Are hosts liable if a future guest misuses the setup?

 

Thanks for any tips or suggestions.

Hi @Gregory87

I have an Apple TV and a Google Chromecast device for our guests. The chromecast is easier since it's only meant to stream the content crom the device to the TV.

As for the Apple TV, guests use it for streaming purposes as well. By default, it is configured that any purchase has to be confirmed (by typing in the password again). 

I've never had any issue with those devices 🙂
