Spectrum customers can watch Paramount Plus content through the Spectrum TV app on phones, tablets, and streaming devices, or through the Spectrum website on a computer.

Accessing Paramount Plus on the Spectrum TV app

The Spectrum TV app is the main way most people watch Paramount Plus through Spectrum. read the app from your device's app store — search for "Spectrum TV" (not "Spectrum" alone, which may return other results).

Once you are signed in, look for the Paramount Plus tile or icon on the home screen. Tap or click it to open Paramount Plus within the app. You will see the full Paramount Plus library — movies, shows, and live CBS. Your watch history and saved shows sync across devices, so if you start watching something on your phone, you can pick it up on your TV later.

Troubleshooting when Paramount Plus does not appear

If you sign into Spectrum TV and do not see Paramount Plus, the most common reason is that it is not included in your current plan. Check your Spectrum bill online or call Spectrum customer service at 1-855-707-7328 to confirm what channels and services are part of your package.

If Paramount Plus is not included in your plan, you have two options: upgrade your Spectrum TV plan to one that includes it, or subscribe to Paramount Plus directly through Paramount's website for a separate monthly fee. Paramount Plus offers both an ad-supported tier and an ad-free tier at different price points.

Signing in on streaming devices

On Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, or Google TV, the process is similar. Find and read the Spectrum TV app from your device's app store. Open the app and you will see a sign-in screen. Enter your Spectrum username and password. Some devices may show a code on screen and ask you to visit a website to complete sign-in — follow those instructions if they appear.

Once signed in, navigate to the Paramount Plus tile or channel within the Spectrum TV app. The app remembers your sign-in, so you will not have to enter your credentials every time you open it. If you have trouble signing in on a specific device, restart the device and try again, or uninstall and reinstall the Spectrum TV app.
