Logging in with your Hulu account

If you have a Hulu subscription, you can use those same login credentials to access Paramount+ on most devices. Paramount+ and Hulu are both owned by Paramount Global, so the companies built a single sign-in system that works across both services. You do not need a separate Paramount+ account if you already have Hulu.

The process differs slightly depending on whether you're using the Paramount+ app, a web browser, or a streaming device. In all cases, you'll select the option to sign in with your Hulu account rather than creating a new Paramount+ login. Your Hulu email address and password are what you'll enter.

Keep in mind that having a Hulu subscription does not automatically give you Paramount+ access. You need to have the correct Hulu plan, or you need to add Paramount+ as an add-on to your existing Hulu account. The login process itself is straightforward once that's set up.

Key Takeaways

  • You can log into Paramount+ using your Hulu email and password if your Hulu plan includes Paramount+ or if you've added it as an add-on.
  • On the Paramount+ app or website, look for a "Sign in with Hulu" button rather than creating a new account.
  • Streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV have their own app stores where you read Paramount+ and sign in the same way.
  • If you see an error message after entering your Hulu credentials, your Hulu plan may not include Paramount+ access yet.

Signing in on the Paramount+ website

Go to paramountplus.com and look for the sign-in button, usually in the top right corner of the page. Click it, and you should see options for how you want to sign in. Select the option that says "Sign in with Hulu" or "Hulu account"—the exact wording varies slightly depending on when the page was last updated.

Enter your Hulu email address and password. Paramount+ will verify that your Hulu account has access to Paramount+, then log you in. You'll be taken to the Paramount+ home page, and your account should be ready to use when ready.

Signing in on the Paramount+ app

read the Paramount+ app from your device's app store—the Apple App Store on iPhone or iPad, Google Play on Android phones, or the Microsoft Store on Windows. Open the app and tap the sign-in button, usually at the bottom of the screen or in a menu.

Look for "Sign in with Hulu" among the sign-in options. Tap it, enter your Hulu email and password, and the app will connect to your Hulu account. Once verified, you'll be logged in and can start watching.

Signing in on streaming devices

On devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, or Google TV, you'll read the Paramount+ app from that device's app store. Open the app and select the sign-in option. You should see "Sign in with Hulu" as one of the choices.

Some streaming devices will open a web browser window where you enter your Hulu credentials. Others will display a code on your TV screen and ask you to visit a website on your phone or computer to complete the sign-in. Either way, use your Hulu email and password. Once you're verified, the app will log you in on your TV.

What to do if sign-in fails

If you enter your Hulu credentials and get an error message, the most common reason is that your Hulu plan does not include Paramount+ access. Paramount+ is included with Hulu (With Ads) and Hulu (No Ads) plans, but not with the older Hulu (Limited Ads) plan if you've had it for several years. Check your Hulu account page to see which plan you're on.

If you have an older Hulu plan that doesn't include Paramount+, you can add it as a separate add-on for an additional monthly fee. Log into your Hulu account on hulu.com, go to Account Settings, and look for the option to add Paramount+ Premium. Once you've added it, try signing into Paramount+ again with your Hulu credentials.

If you've recently changed your Hulu password, wait a few minutes before trying to sign into Paramount+ again. The password change sometimes takes a moment to sync between the two services. If the problem persists after 15 minutes, try signing out of Hulu on your device, then signing back in before attempting Paramount+ again.

Signing in on smart TVs and other devices

Some smart TVs come with Paramount+ built in, or you can access it through apps like Samsung TV Plus or LG Channels. The sign-in process is the same: look for "Sign in with Hulu" and enter your Hulu email and password.

If you're using a web browser on a computer or tablet, go to paramountplus.com, click sign in, select "Sign in with Hulu," and enter your credentials. The process is identical to the website version on a phone.

Managing your account across devices

Once you've signed in on one device, you don't need to sign in again on that same device unless you sign out. However, you will need to sign in separately on each new device you use. This is normal behavior for streaming services.

If you want to sign out of Paramount+ on a specific device, go to your account settings within the app or on the website and look for a "Sign Out" or "Log Out" option. You can also manage which devices have access to your account by visiting your Hulu account page at hulu.com and checking the "Connected Apps" or "Devices" section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate Paramount+ account if I have Hulu?

No. If your Hulu plan includes Paramount+ or you've added it as an add-on, you use your Hulu login for both services. You do not create a separate Paramount+ account. If you try to create one, it will conflict with your Hulu account.

What if I don't see a "Sign in with Hulu" option?

Make sure you're on the official Paramount+ website or app. If you're on a third-party site or an outdated version of the app, the sign-in options may look different. Update the app to the latest version from your device's app store, or clear your browser cache if you're using the website.

Can I use my Hulu login on Paramount+ if I'm outside the United States?

Paramount+ is available in the United States, Canada, and several other countries, but availability and sign-in methods vary by region. If you're outside the US, check whether Paramount+ is available in your country. If it is, the Hulu sign-in method should work the same way.

What happens to my Paramount+ access if I cancel Hulu?

If you cancel your Hulu subscription, you lose access to Paramount+ as well, unless you had added Paramount+ as a separate add-on. If Paramount+ was included with your Hulu plan, canceling Hulu removes both services. If you added Paramount+ separately, you can keep it by maintaining that add-on even if you cancel Hulu.

Why does Paramount+ say my password is wrong when I know it's correct?

Check that you're entering your Hulu password, not a Paramount+ password. If you've recently changed your Hulu password, wait a few minutes for the change to sync. You can also reset your Hulu password at hulu.com by clicking "Forgot Password" on the sign-in page, then try Paramount+ again with the new password.
