Sign in with your Paramount Plus account on Roku in three steps

To sign into Paramount Plus on Roku, open the Paramount Plus app, select Sign In, and enter your email address and password on the screen that appears. Roku will display a code on your TV — you can also enter this code on your phone or computer at the Paramount Plus website to complete sign-in faster. Once you enter your credentials, your account loads on the Roku device and you can start watching.

The process takes about two minutes if you already know your email and password. If you do not have a Paramount Plus account yet, you will need to create one before you can sign in on Roku.

Key Takeaways

  • Open the Paramount Plus app on your Roku, select Sign In, and enter your email and password directly on the TV screen or use a code to sign in from another device.
  • If you see an error message, restart the Paramount Plus app or restart your Roku device entirely — this fixes most sign-in problems.
  • Your Paramount Plus account works on any Roku device once you sign in, so you do not need to sign in again on other Roku devices on the same network.
  • If you forgot your password, use the Forgot Password link on the Paramount Plus website before you try to sign in on Roku.

Step-by-step sign-in on your Roku TV or device

Start by opening the Paramount Plus app on your Roku. If you do not see it on your home screen, press the Home button on your remote, scroll to the search icon, and type "Paramount Plus" to find and install it.

Once the app opens, you will see a sign-in screen. Select the Sign In button. You now have two options: enter your email and password directly on the TV screen using your remote, or use a device code to sign in from your phone or computer instead.

If you enter credentials on the TV, use your remote to navigate the on-screen keyboard. Type your email address, then select Next. Type your password and select Sign In. Your account will load within seconds.

If you prefer to use a code, the TV will display a six-character code. Go to paramount.com/signin on your phone or computer, enter that code, and sign in with your email and password there. Your Roku will recognize the sign-in and load your account automatically.

Using a device code to sign in from your phone

The device code method is often faster because you do not have to use the remote to type on a small keyboard. When the sign-in screen appears on your Roku, write down the six-character code displayed on the TV.

On your phone or computer, open a web browser and go to paramount.com/signin. Enter the code from your TV into the field provided. Then sign in with your Paramount Plus email address and password. Within a few seconds, your Roku will recognize the sign-in and your account will appear on the TV.

This method also works if you are signing in on a Roku device at someone else's house — you can sign in from your own phone without giving them your password.

What to do if sign-in fails or shows an error

If you see an error message or the app freezes during sign-in, first try closing the Paramount Plus app and opening it again. Press the Home button on your Roku remote, highlight the Paramount Plus app, press the Options button (the three horizontal lines), and select Remove Channel. Then go back to the Roku home screen, search for Paramount Plus again, and reinstall it.

If the problem continues, restart your entire Roku device. Unplug the power cable from the back of your Roku, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Once the device restarts, open Paramount Plus and try signing in again.

If you see a message saying your password is incorrect, go to paramount.com on your phone or computer, select Forgot Password, and reset it before trying again on Roku. Make sure you are using the correct email address — some accounts are linked to a different email than you might expect.

Signing in on multiple Roku devices

If you have more than one Roku device in your home, you only need to sign in once on each device. Your Paramount Plus subscription works on all of them, but each device requires its own sign-in.

To sign in on a second Roku, repeat the same process: open the Paramount Plus app, select Sign In, and enter your credentials or use a device code. You can use the same email and password on every Roku you own.

If you are sharing a Roku with someone else and want to use separate accounts, note that Paramount Plus does not support multiple user profiles on a single Roku device. Only one account can be signed in at a time on each device.

Troubleshooting connection and account issues

If your Roku cannot connect to the internet, you will not be able to sign in to Paramount Plus. Check that your Roku is connected to your Wi-Fi network by going to Settings on the Roku home screen, selecting Network, and confirming the connection status. If you are not connected, select your Wi-Fi network and enter your password.

If your Paramount Plus account is linked to a subscription through another service — such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV Channels, or The Roku Channel — you may need to sign in using those credentials instead. Check your Paramount Plus account page on the website to see which sign-in method is associated with your subscription.

If you are still unable to sign in after restarting the app and your Roku device, contact Paramount Plus support through the website. They can check whether your account has any restrictions or whether there is a service issue affecting sign-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sign into Paramount Plus on Roku without a password?

No, you need both your email address and password to sign in. If you forgot your password, go to paramount.com, select Forgot Password, and follow the steps to reset it using your email address. You will receive a reset link in your inbox.

What if I do not have a Paramount Plus account yet?

You must create an account on the Paramount Plus website or through the app on another device before you can sign in on Roku. Go to paramount.com, select Sign Up, and follow the steps to create your account with an email address and password.

Will I stay signed in on Roku if I sign out on my phone?

Yes. Signing out on one device does not sign you out on other devices. Your Roku will remain signed in until you manually sign out on the Roku itself or uninstall the app.

Can I use the same Paramount Plus account on multiple Roku devices at the same time?

You can sign in on multiple Roku devices, but you can only stream on one device at a time with a standard Paramount Plus subscription. If you try to watch on a second device while streaming on the first, the first stream will stop.

Why does my Roku keep asking me to sign in every time I open the app?

This usually means the app did not save your sign-in information. Restart your Roku device completely by unplugging it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. If the problem continues, uninstall and reinstall the Paramount Plus app.
