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

[Gregory87]

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.

ROKU has info, including a printable guide, on how to use guest mode: https://support.roku.com/article/360015612834

Amazon does not allow a "Guest Mode"

Thanks @John8790 for the handy link! Do you have Roku or another service setup in your property as well? How are you finding it?

I do have a Roku and so far, so good. I've not had many guests yet, so I've not experienced any issues or heard any complaints. Using the guest mode when I stay in the house myself gives me piece of mind knowing it will log everything out automatically.
