The fastest way to sign out
To log out of Paramount Plus on your Roku device, open the Paramount Plus app, go to your account settings, and select the sign-out option. The exact menu path depends on which Roku model you have and which version of the Paramount Plus app is installed, but the process takes less than a minute once you find the settings menu.
You do not need to restart your Roku or delete the app. Signing out straightforward removes your account from that device while leaving the app itself in place, so you can sign back in later if you want.
Key Takeaways
- Open Paramount Plus on your Roku, press the Options button on your remote, and look for Account or Settings to find the sign-out button.
- If you cannot find a sign-out option in the app menu, you can remove your account by going to Roku Settings > Accounts > Paramount Plus and selecting Remove Account.
- Signing out does not delete the app or erase your watch history — it only disconnects your account from that Roku device.
- If you share a Roku with other people, signing out is the standard way to prevent them from watching content on your account.
Step-by-step: sign out through the Paramount Plus app
Start by opening the Paramount Plus app on your Roku. Once the app is open and you are on the home screen, press the Options button (the button with three horizontal lines, also called the menu button) on your Roku remote.
A menu should appear on the left or right side of the screen. Look for an option labeled Account, Settings, Profile, or User. Select that option by pressing the center button on your remote. Once you are in the account menu, scroll down until you see a Sign Out or Log Out button. Press it, and the app will ask you to confirm. Select yes, and you will be signed out.
After you sign out, the app will return to the login screen. Your account information will no longer be stored on that Roku device.
Alternative: remove the account through Roku settings
If you cannot find a sign-out button inside the Paramount Plus app, you can remove your account directly from your Roku's system settings. This method works on all Roku models and achieves the same result.
From your Roku home screen, press the Home button on your remote to make sure you are at the main menu. Then navigate to Settings (usually in the top right corner). Select Accounts or Accounts & Sign-In, depending on your Roku model. You should see a list of apps you have signed into. Find Paramount Plus in that list and select it. Choose Remove Account or Sign Out. Confirm your choice, and the account will be disconnected from your Roku.
This method removes your account from the device but does not uninstall the app, so the Paramount Plus icon will still appear on your home screen.
What happens after you sign out
Once you sign out, anyone who picks up the remote will see the Paramount Plus login screen instead of your account. They will not be able to watch your shows, see your watch history, or access your saved content without signing in with their own account credentials.
Your account itself is not affected. Your watch history, saved shows, and subscription remain active on Paramount Plus' servers. If you sign back into that same Roku device later using the same email and password, everything will be there.
When to sign out versus when to uninstall
Sign out if you are sharing your Roku with family members or roommates and want to prevent them from watching on your account. Signing out is quick and keeps the app ready to use.
Uninstall the app only if you no longer want Paramount Plus on that Roku at all. To uninstall, go to your Roku home screen, highlight the Paramount Plus app, press the Options button, and select Remove Channel. This deletes the app entirely, and you will have to read it again if you want to use it later.
Troubleshooting: the sign-out button is not appearing
If you open the Paramount Plus app and cannot find a sign-out option in the account menu, the app may be outdated. Check whether an update is available by going to your Roku home screen, pressing the Home button, navigating to Settings > System > System Update, and selecting Check Now. If an update is available, install it and try opening Paramount Plus again.
If updating does not help, use the Roku Settings method described above to remove your account. This works even if the app itself is not showing a sign-out button.
Signing out on different Roku models
The steps above work on Roku streaming sticks, Roku boxes, and Roku TVs. The button names and menu layout are the same across all current Roku models, though older devices from before 2018 may have slightly different menu structures. If your Roku is very old and the steps do not match what you see on screen, try the Roku Settings method instead — that approach works on all Roku generations.
If you are using a Roku TV (a television with Roku built in), the process is identical. Open Paramount Plus, press Options, find Account or Settings, and select Sign Out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will signing out delete my watch history?
No. Your watch history, saved shows, and all other account data stay on Paramount Plus' servers. When you sign back in with the same email and password, everything will be there. Signing out only disconnects your account from that specific Roku device.
Can I sign out of Paramount Plus without signing out of my entire Roku account?
Yes. Signing out of Paramount Plus does not affect your Roku account or any other apps. Only Paramount Plus will be disconnected. Your other apps and settings remain unchanged.
What if I forgot my Paramount Plus password and need to sign out?
Use the Roku Settings method to remove the account. Go to Settings > Accounts > Paramount Plus and select Remove Account. You do not need your password to remove an account this way. After that, you can sign back in using the password recovery option on the Paramount Plus login screen.
Does signing out on one Roku sign me out everywhere?
No. Signing out on one Roku device only affects that device. If you have Paramount Plus installed on multiple Rokus, tablets, phones, or other devices, you will still be signed in on those other devices. You must sign out of each device separately.
Can I sign out remotely without using the Roku remote?
You can sign out of Paramount Plus on all your devices at once by changing your password on the Paramount Plus website. Log in at paramount.com, go to Account Settings, and change your password. This will sign you out everywhere, including on your Roku. You will then need to sign back in with your new password on any device you want to use.
