Sign out by going to Account Settings on your Roku device
To sign out of Paramount Plus on Roku, open the Paramount Plus app, scroll to the menu (usually three horizontal lines or a gear icon), find Account Settings, and select Sign Out. The app will ask you to confirm. Once you confirm, you are logged out and the app returns to the login screen.
The exact menu location varies slightly depending on your Roku model and the current version of the Paramount Plus app. If you do not see Account Settings in the main menu, look for a Profile or Settings option first — Account Settings is usually nested inside one of those.
After you sign out, anyone using that Roku device will see the login screen when they open Paramount Plus. They cannot watch your account's content without entering login credentials again.
Key Takeaways
- Open Paramount Plus on your Roku, find the menu, and select Account Settings or Profile, then choose Sign Out.
- Signing out removes access to your account on that specific Roku device only — it does not affect other devices where you are logged in.
- If you cannot find Account Settings, restart the Paramount Plus app or restart your Roku device and try again.
- Signing out is different from uninstalling the app; signing out keeps the app on your device but removes your login.
Why you might want to sign out
You may want to sign out if you are selling or giving away your Roku device, if someone else in your household wants to use their own account, or if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. Signing out ensures that the next person to use the device cannot watch content on your subscription without your permission.
If you are concerned about account security — for example, if you used a weak password or logged in on a public network — signing out of all devices at once is faster than signing out one device at a time. Some streaming services offer a "Sign Out Everywhere" option in their account settings on the web, though Paramount Plus does not currently have this feature built into the Roku app itself.
What happens after you sign out
Once you sign out, the Paramount Plus app on that Roku device returns to the login screen. The app itself remains installed on your device. If you want to watch Paramount Plus again on that Roku, you will need to log back in with your email and password.
Your account and subscription remain active — signing out does not cancel your subscription or delete your watch history. When you log back in on any device, your profile, saved shows, and viewing history are still there.
If the Sign Out option does not appear
If you navigate to Account Settings and do not see a Sign Out button, try closing and reopening the Paramount Plus app. Press the Home button on your Roku remote, scroll back to Paramount Plus, and open it again. This refreshes the app and often reveals menu options that were not visible before.
If the app still does not show Sign Out, restart your Roku device. Go to Settings on your Roku home screen, select System, then select Power, and choose Restart. After the device restarts, open Paramount Plus again and return to Account Settings.
If you still cannot find the option after restarting, uninstall and reinstall the Paramount Plus app. Go to your Roku home screen, highlight the Paramount Plus app, press the Options button on your remote (usually marked with an asterisk), select Remove Channel, confirm the removal, then search for and reinstall Paramount Plus from the Roku Channel Store.
Signing out versus removing the app
Signing out logs you out of your account but leaves the app on your device. The next time someone opens Paramount Plus, they see the login screen and cannot access your account without your credentials.
Removing the app deletes it entirely from your Roku device. If you remove the app, anyone who wants to watch Paramount Plus will have to reinstall it from the Roku Channel Store and log in with their own account. Removing the app takes up less storage space on your device, but signing out is usually sufficient if you just want to prevent someone from using your account.
Signing out on different Roku models
The steps are nearly identical across Roku devices — Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Ultra, Roku Express, and Roku TV all use the same Paramount Plus app and the same menu structure. The only difference is the remote: some Roku remotes have more buttons than others, but all have a Home button and an Options button, which are the only two you need to navigate to Account Settings and sign out.
If you are using a Roku TV (a television with Roku built in), the process is the same. Open Paramount Plus from the home screen, go to the menu, find Account Settings, and select Sign Out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does signing out of Paramount Plus on Roku sign me out on other devices?
No. Signing out on your Roku device only logs you out on that specific device. You remain logged in on your phone, tablet, computer, and any other devices where you have the Paramount Plus app or website open. Each device has its own separate login session.
Can I sign out of Paramount Plus without a remote?
No. You need a Roku remote to navigate the menu and select Sign Out. If your remote is lost or broken, you can purchase a replacement Roku remote or use the Roku mobile app (available on iOS and Android) to control your device, then follow the same steps to sign out.
Will signing out delete my watch history?
No. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile preferences stay on your Paramount Plus account. When you log back in on any device, everything is still there. Signing out only removes the login from that one Roku device.
What if I forgot my Paramount Plus password and need to sign out?
You can still sign out without knowing your password — the Sign Out option on your Roku does not require you to enter your password again. If you want to log back in later and do not remember your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the Paramount Plus login screen to reset it.
Does Paramount Plus automatically sign me out after a period of inactivity?
Paramount Plus does not have a set inactivity timeout on Roku devices. You remain logged in until you manually sign out or uninstall the app. However, if your Roku device loses internet connection for an extended period, the app may require you to log in again when you reconnect.
