Sign out by going to your account settings
To sign out of Paramount Plus on your Roku device, open the Paramount Plus app, then navigate to your account menu and select the sign-out option. The exact steps depend on which Roku model you have, but the process takes less than a minute and doesn't require a remote code or password.
After you sign out, anyone who picks up your Roku remote will see only the Paramount Plus login screen. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile preferences stay on Paramount Plus' servers—they'll come back when you sign in again on any device.
Key Takeaways
- Open Paramount Plus on your Roku, press the Options button on your remote, and select Sign Out from the menu.
- Signing out removes your account from that specific Roku device but does not delete your Paramount Plus account or viewing history.
- If the Options button doesn't work, highlight your profile icon and press the star button on your Roku remote instead.
- You can sign back in anytime using your email and password, and your saved shows and watch history will still be there.
Step-by-step sign-out on most Roku devices
Start with the Paramount Plus app already open on your Roku. Look at the top of the screen for your profile icon or account name—this is usually in the upper right corner. Press the Options button (the button with three horizontal lines) on your Roku remote while your profile is highlighted.
A menu will drop down. Look for an option that says "Sign Out," "Log Out," or "Sign Out of Account." Press OK on your remote to select it. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm—select "Yes" or "Confirm" to finish. The app will return to the login screen, and you're done.
If you don't see the Options button menu, try this alternative: navigate to your profile icon using the arrow buttons on your remote, then press the star button (the button with an asterisk). This opens a different menu where you should see the sign-out option.
What happens after you sign out
Once you sign out, the Paramount Plus app on that Roku device returns to the login screen. No one can watch your account or see your profile without entering your email and password. Your watch history, saved shows, and custom settings stay saved in your Paramount Plus account—they don't disappear.
If you sign back in on the same Roku later, everything will be exactly as you left it. You can also sign in on a different Roku, phone, tablet, or computer, and your account will work the same way across all devices. Paramount Plus allows multiple devices to stream at once, depending on your subscription plan.
If the sign-out option doesn't appear
Sometimes the sign-out menu is hidden or the app needs to be refreshed. First, try closing the Paramount Plus app completely. Press the Home button on your Roku remote to go back to the main screen, then reopen Paramount Plus. This clears any temporary glitches.
If sign-out still doesn't show up, restart your Roku device. Press Home, go to Settings, select System, then select Power, and choose Restart. Wait for your Roku to turn back on, then open Paramount Plus again and try the sign-out steps above.
As a last resort, you can sign out remotely from any web browser or phone. Go to your Paramount Plus account settings on paramount.com, find the "Devices" or "Active Sessions" section, and select the Roku device you want to sign out from. This removes your account from that device without needing the Roku remote.
Signing back in after you sign out
When you're ready to use Paramount Plus again on that Roku, open the app and you'll see the login screen. Enter your email address and password—the same ones you use on your phone or computer. Paramount Plus will sign you in and load your profile with all your saved shows and watch history.
If you forget your password, select "Forgot Password" on the login screen. Paramount Plus will send a reset link to your email. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for the email, click the link, create a new password, and then sign back in on your Roku.
Why you might want to sign out
Sign out when you're selling or giving away your Roku, or when someone else is borrowing it. Signing out prevents them from seeing your watch history or starting charges to your account. It's also useful if you share a TV with roommates or family members and want to keep your profile private.
If you're concerned about account security—for example, if you think someone has your password—signing out of all devices is a good first step. After you sign out everywhere, change your Paramount Plus password, and then sign back in on only the devices you trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does signing out delete my watch history?
No. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings stay in your Paramount Plus account. When you sign back in on any device, everything will be there. Signing out only removes your account from that specific Roku device.
Can I sign out without a remote?
If your Roku remote is lost or broken, you can sign out from a web browser or phone instead. Go to paramount.com, log into your account, find your device list, and select the Roku to sign out from. This works even if the Roku is turned off.
Will signing out cancel my subscription?
No. Signing out of the app does not cancel your Paramount Plus subscription. Your subscription stays active, and you can sign back in anytime. To actually cancel, you would need to go to your account settings on paramount.com and choose to end your subscription.
What if someone else signed into my Paramount Plus on their Roku?
Go to paramount.com, log into your account, and look for a "Devices" or "Active Sessions" section. You'll see all the devices signed into your account. Select any device you don't recognize and choose to sign out from it remotely. Then change your password so they can't sign back in.
Can I sign out of Paramount Plus without signing out of Roku?
Yes. Signing out of Paramount Plus only removes that app from your account—it doesn't affect your Roku user profile or any other apps. You'll stay signed into Roku itself, and other apps will keep working normally.
