What You Get With Paramount Plus Through Walmart
Walmart offers Paramount Plus with ads as part of certain Walmart+ memberships. This means you get access to Paramount Plus's full library of movies, TV shows, and live sports — but you will see advertisements during playback. The service works the same way as if you subscribed to Paramount Plus directly, except Walmart bundles it into your Walmart+ membership instead of charging you separately.
Not every Walmart+ plan includes Paramount Plus. Only the standard Walmart+ membership tier comes with it. If you have Walmart+ and want to confirm you have Paramount Plus included, check your Walmart+ account settings or look at your membership details in the Walmart app.
Key Takeaways
- Paramount Plus with ads is included in your standard Walmart+ membership at no extra cost.
- You access Paramount Plus through the Paramount Plus app or website using your Walmart account credentials.
- You can watch on phones, tablets, computers, and compatible smart TVs — up to four streams at once on different devices.
- If you do not see Paramount Plus in your Walmart account, your membership tier may not include it, or you may need to link the services.
How to Link Your Walmart Account to Paramount Plus
To start watching, you need to connect your Walmart account to Paramount Plus. Open the Paramount Plus app or go to paramountplus.com in a web browser. Look for a sign-in option that says "Sign in with Walmart" or "Walmart+" — this button appears on the login screen. Tap or click it.
You will be taken to Walmart's login page. Enter your Walmart account email address and password, then tap "Sign In." Walmart will confirm that your account includes Paramount Plus, and you will be sent back to Paramount Plus. Your account is now linked, and you can start watching when ready.
If you do not see a "Sign in with Walmart" option on Paramount Plus, make sure you are using the official Paramount Plus app or website. Third-party apps or older versions may not support Walmart sign-in. Update the app from your device's app store if you have not done so recently.
Watching on Different Devices
Once you are signed in, you can watch Paramount Plus on almost any device. read the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, sign in with your Walmart credentials, and start playing content. On a computer, go to paramountplus.com, sign in the same way, and watch in your web browser.
For a TV, read the Paramount Plus app on compatible smart TVs — Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and PlayStation and Xbox consoles all support it. Search for "Paramount Plus" in your TV's app store, install it, and sign in with your Walmart account when prompted.
Your Walmart+ membership allows up to four simultaneous streams. This means four people can watch different shows or movies at the same time on four different devices. If a fifth person tries to start watching, they will see an error message until someone stops watching.
What to Do If You Cannot Sign In
If "Sign in with Walmart" does not appear or you get an error when trying to link your accounts, first check that your Walmart+ membership is active. Open the Walmart app, go to your account, and look for your Walmart+ status. If it shows as inactive or expired, you will need to renew it before Paramount Plus will work.
If your membership is active but you still cannot sign in, try signing out of the Paramount Plus app completely, close the app, and reopen it. Then tap "Sign in with Walmart" again. Sometimes the app needs to refresh to show the correct login option.
If that does not work, uninstall the Paramount Plus app and reinstall it from your device's app store. This clears out any cached data that might be causing the problem. After reinstalling, open the app and sign in with Walmart again.
Troubleshooting Playback and Streaming Issues
If you can sign in but shows or movies will not play, check your internet connection first. Paramount Plus requires a stable connection — if your Wi-Fi is weak or your mobile data is slow, playback may stall or fail. Move closer to your router or switch to a stronger network if possible.
If your connection is fine but videos still will not play, try restarting the app. Close Paramount Plus completely, wait a few seconds, and reopen it. If you are watching on a TV, restart the TV itself by unplugging it for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in.
Ads are part of the Paramount Plus with ads plan, so you cannot skip them. If an ad fails to load or gets stuck, restart the app. If the same ad keeps failing, try watching a different show — the ad rotation may clear the problem.
Managing Your Account and Preferences
Your Paramount Plus account is tied to your Walmart account, so any changes you make to your Walmart login will affect Paramount Plus. If you change your Walmart password, you will need to sign out of Paramount Plus and sign back in with your new password on each device.
To set up profiles within Paramount Plus — separate watch histories and recommendations for different people in your household — open Paramount Plus, go to your account settings, and select "Profiles." You can create up to six profiles per account. Each profile can have its own PIN if you want to restrict access to certain content.
If you cancel your Walmart+ membership, you will lose access to Paramount Plus when ready. Your watch history and profiles will be saved for 12 months in case you reactivate, but you will not be able to watch anything while your membership is inactive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch Paramount Plus offline?
Yes, on the mobile app. Open a show or movie, tap the read icon, and it will save to your phone or tablet. You can watch downloaded content without an internet connection. Downloaded videos expire after 30 days or when your membership ends, whichever comes first.
Why do I see ads if I pay for Walmart+?
Paramount Plus with ads is the version included in Walmart+ memberships. It works the same as the standalone Paramount Plus with ads subscription. If you want ad-free viewing, you would need to upgrade to Paramount Plus Premium, which costs extra and is not included in Walmart+.
Can I use my Paramount Plus account on someone else's device?
Yes, as long as you stay within the four simultaneous streams allowed by your membership. You can sign in on a friend's phone or TV, but once four people are watching at the same time, no one else can start a new stream until someone stops watching.
What if I have both a Walmart+ account and a separate Paramount Plus account?
You can have both, but they are separate. When you sign in to Paramount Plus with your Walmart account, you are using the version included in Walmart+. Your old Paramount Plus account will still exist but will not be connected to Walmart. You cannot merge the two accounts or transfer watch history between them.
Does Paramount Plus work outside the United States?
Paramount Plus is available only in the United States, Canada, and a few other countries. If you travel outside these regions, you will not be able to stream. Some content may also be blocked in certain countries due to licensing restrictions.
