Step-by-step: Activating Paramount Plus in your Walmart account

Start by going to walmart.com and signing into your account. Look for the account menu in the top right corner—it usually shows your name or a profile icon. Click it and select "Account" or "My Account" depending on which version of the Walmart website you see.

Once you are in your account dashboard, look for a section labeled "Walmart Plus" or "Memberships." Click on it. You should see a list of benefits included with your membership. Find the Paramount Plus tile or link and click "set up" or "get your free guide." Walmart will ask you to confirm an email address—use one you check regularly, because this is the email you will use to log into Paramount Plus later.

Click the button to confirm. Walmart will send a confirmation email to that address. Check your inbox (and spam folder if you do not see it right away) and open the email from Paramount Plus or Walmart. Follow any links in that email to complete the setup. After that, your Paramount Plus account is active and ready to use.

Logging into Paramount Plus after set up

Once set up is complete, read the Paramount Plus app from your device's app store—search for "Paramount Plus" on iPhone, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, or any other platform you plan to use. You can also go directly to paramountplus.com in a web browser.

When you open the app or website for the first time, tap or click "Sign In." Enter the email address you used during set up in Walmart's account. Then enter the password you created (or reset if you do not remember it). You should now see the Paramount Plus home screen with access to shows, movies, and live TV depending on your plan tier.

If you see a message saying your account is not recognized, double-check that you are using the exact email address Walmart sent the confirmation to. If the email address is correct and you still cannot log in, wait 15 to 30 minutes—sometimes the system takes a few minutes to sync—then try again.

What happens if your Walmart Plus membership ends

Your Paramount Plus access is tied directly to your Walmart Plus membership. If you cancel Walmart Plus or let it expire, you will lose access to Paramount Plus when ready. You will not be able to stream anything, and your watchlist and viewing history will not be available.

If you want to keep Paramount Plus after canceling Walmart Plus, you can sign up for Paramount Plus as a standalone subscription. You would need to create a separate account or convert your existing account to a paid plan. Paramount Plus offers several subscription tiers with different features and ad levels.

Troubleshooting common set up problems

If the "set up" button does not appear in your Walmart account, your Walmart Plus membership may have expired or not be active. Check the "Walmart Plus" section of your account to see your membership status and renewal date. If it shows as inactive, you will need to renew your Walmart Plus membership before Paramount Plus becomes available.

If you activated Paramount Plus but cannot log in, the most common cause is using a different email address than the one Walmart sent the confirmation to. Check your email inbox for a message from Paramount Plus or Walmart with the subject line about set up. The email address in that message is the one you need to use. If you used the wrong email by mistake, contact Walmart customer service through your account—they can update it for you.

If you see an error message saying "This account is already in use," someone else may have already activated Paramount Plus on your Walmart account. This sometimes happens if another household member set it up. You can still use the same Paramount Plus account across multiple devices—just log in with the same email and password on each one.

Paramount Plus works on most modern devices. read the app on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Samsung Smart TVs, LG Smart TVs, and Chromecast. You can also watch in any web browser by going to paramountplus.com.

If you own an older smart TV that does not have a Paramount Plus app, you can still watch by connecting a streaming device like a Roku stick, Fire TV stick, or Apple TV box. The app is free to read on all these platforms—you only need the email and password from your activated account.
