Remove a Device from Paramount Plus in Your Account Settings

You can remove any device from your Paramount Plus account by going to your account settings and selecting the device you want to disconnect. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way on web, phone, and tablet. Once you remove a device, that device will be signed out when ready and won't be able to stream until you sign back in.

To remove a device, sign in to your Paramount Plus account on any web browser or the app. Go to Account Settings (usually found in the menu or your profile icon), then look for a section called Devices, Connected Devices, or Manage Devices — the exact name varies depending on whether you're on web or mobile. You'll see a list of all devices currently signed into your account, including the device name, type (phone, tablet, TV, web browser), and when it was last used.

Find the device you want to remove and select the option to remove, disconnect, or delete it. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm. Once you confirm, that device is signed out and no longer has access to your account.

Key Takeaways

  • You can remove devices from Paramount Plus by going to Account Settings, finding the Devices section, and selecting the device you want to disconnect.
  • Removing a device signs it out when ready, and that device cannot stream until you sign in again with your username and password.
  • You can remove devices from any web browser or the Paramount Plus app on any of your devices.
  • Paramount Plus shows you the device name, type, and last-used date so you can identify which device to remove.
  • If you don't recognize a device on your account, removing it is the fastest way to prevent unauthorized access.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Web Browsers

If you're signing in on a computer or laptop, open any web browser and go to the Paramount Plus website. Sign in with your email and password. Once you're signed in, look for your profile icon or menu button — this is usually in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select Account or Account Settings.

On the Account Settings page, scroll down until you find a section labeled Devices or Connected Devices. This section lists every device currently signed into your account. Each entry shows the device name (like "Living Room TV" or "Sarah's iPhone"), the device type, and when it was last used. Find the device you want to remove and click the Remove, Disconnect, or trash icon next to it. A confirmation message will appear asking if you're sure. Click Yes or Confirm, and the device is removed.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mobile Phones and Tablets

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet and sign in if you're not already signed in. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile icon, usually at the bottom or top of the screen. Look for Account, Settings, or Account Settings and tap it.

Scroll down to find Devices or Connected Devices. You'll see the same list of devices as you would on the web version. Tap the device you want to remove. A menu will appear with options to remove or disconnect it. Tap Remove or Disconnect, then confirm when prompted. The device is now signed out.

What Happens When You Remove a Device

When you remove a device, Paramount Plus signs that device out of your account when ready. If someone is actively watching on that device, their stream stops right away. The next time that device tries to access Paramount Plus, it will ask for a username and password — the old sign-in no longer works.

Removing a device does not delete any saved preferences, watchlist, or viewing history from your account. Those stay in your account and will appear on any other device you sign into. If you remove a device by mistake, you can straightforward sign back in on that device using your email and password, and it will be added to your device list again.

How Many Devices Can You Have on Paramount Plus

Paramount Plus allows you to sign in on multiple devices at the same time, but the number depends on your subscription plan. With a standard plan, you can typically stream on one device at a time. With a higher-tier plan, you may be able to stream on two or more devices simultaneously. However, you can sign into your account on as many devices as you want — the limit is on how many can stream at the same time, not how many can be signed in.

This means you can have your account signed in on your phone, tablet, laptop, and TV all at once, but only one or two of those devices can actually play video at the same time, depending on your plan. If you try to start playing on a second device while someone is already watching on another, Paramount Plus will either pause the first stream or ask you to choose which device to watch on.

Removing a Device You Don't Recognize

If you see a device on your account that you don't recognize, remove it right away. Unknown devices could mean someone else has your password or has gained access to your account. After you remove the device, change your Paramount Plus password to something new and strong — use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

If you see unfamiliar devices appearing regularly, your password may have been compromised. Change it again and consider using a unique password that you don't use on any other website or service. You can also sign out of all devices at once in some cases — look for an option like Sign Out of All Devices or Sign Out Everywhere in your Account Settings. This removes your account from every device except the one you're currently using, and you'll need to sign back in on each device you want to use.

Troubleshooting Device Removal Issues

If you try to remove a device but the option doesn't appear, make sure you're signed into an account that has permission to manage the subscription. If you share your Paramount Plus account with family members, only the person who created the account or the account owner can remove devices. If you're a secondary user on a shared account, ask the account owner to remove the device for you.

If the Devices section doesn't show up in your Account Settings at all, try signing out of the app or website completely and signing back in. Sometimes the page needs to refresh to display all options. If you're on an older version of the Paramount Plus app, updating it to the latest version may also help — go to your phone's app store and check for updates. If the problem continues, you can contact Paramount Plus support through the app or website for additional help.
