The fastest way to log out depends on what you're using

On a phone or tablet, open the Peacock app, tap the profile icon (usually in the top right or bottom menu), find "Sign Out" or "Log Out", and tap it. On a web browser, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Sign Out". On a smart TV or streaming device, go to Settings or Account in the app menu, then choose Sign Out. The exact wording and location shift slightly between devices, but the principle is the same: find your profile menu and look for a sign-out option.

If you're signed out of a shared device and want to make sure no one else can access your account, you can also remotely sign out all active sessions from your account settings on the Peacock website — this logs you out everywhere at once, which is useful if you've used Peacock on a device you no longer own or share with someone you no longer trust.

Key Takeaways

  • On phones and tablets, tap your profile icon in the Peacock app and select Sign Out from the menu.
  • On a web browser, click the profile icon in the top right corner and choose Sign Out.
  • On smart TVs and streaming devices, navigate to Settings or Account within the app and select Sign Out.
  • You can remotely sign out of all devices at once by logging into your Peacock account on the website and using the account settings menu.

Signing out on your phone or tablet

Open the Peacock app and look for the profile icon — it's usually a circle with your initials or a generic user symbol, located either at the top right of the screen or in a bottom menu bar. Tap it once.

A menu will drop down or slide up showing your account options. Scroll down until you see "Sign Out" or "Log Out" (the exact wording varies). Tap it, and you'll be logged out when ready. The app will return to the sign-in screen, and anyone picking up your phone will not be able to watch your account without entering your password again.

Signing out on a web browser

Go to peacock.com and make sure you're logged in. In the top right corner of the page, you'll see your profile icon — click it once. A dropdown menu appears with account options.

Look for "Sign Out" or "Log Out" in that menu and click it. You'll be logged out of that browser on that device. If you use the same browser on multiple devices, you'll need to sign out on each one separately — logging out on your laptop does not log you out on your phone.

Signing out on a smart TV or streaming device

Open the Peacock app on your TV or device (Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, Google TV, or others). Navigate to the menu — this is usually accessed by pressing a button labeled Menu, Settings, or Options on your remote, or by scrolling to a Settings tile on the home screen.

Look for Account, Profile, or Settings within the Peacock app itself. Once you find it, scroll down to find "Sign Out" or "Log Out" and select it using your remote. The app will return to the sign-in screen. This is especially important if you're selling or giving away a device, or if you've been using Peacock on someone else's TV.

Signing out of all devices at once

If you want to log out everywhere simultaneously — for example, if you think someone else has access to your account or you've used Peacock on a device you no longer control — you can do this from the Peacock website. Log in to your account at peacock.com, then click your profile icon in the top right.

Select "Account Settings" or "Settings" from the menu. Look for a section labeled "Active Sessions", "Devices", "Sign Out Everywhere", or similar wording. Click the option to sign out of all sessions or devices. This when ready logs you out of Peacock on every phone, tablet, browser, and TV where you were signed in. You'll need to sign back in on any device you want to use going forward.

What happens after you sign out

Once you sign out, your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings remain tied to your account — they don't disappear. The next time you sign back in on any device, everything will be exactly as you left it.

If you share a Peacock account with family members, signing out on a shared device means the next person to open the app will see the sign-in screen. They can then sign in with their own credentials if they have a separate profile, or they can sign in with the account password. Peacock allows multiple profiles under one account, so each person can have their own watch history and recommendations without signing out and back in repeatedly.

Troubleshooting if the sign-out option doesn't appear

On rare occasions, the sign-out button may be hidden or the menu may not load properly. Try closing the app completely and reopening it, then navigate back to your profile menu. If that doesn't work, try signing out from the Peacock website instead — logging out there will end your session on that browser and may help reset the app on your phone or TV.

If you're using a TV app and the menu feels stuck, restart the device itself. Unplug it for 10 seconds, plug it back in, and wait for it to fully load before opening Peacock again. If the sign-out option still doesn't appear after these steps, you can remotely sign out of all sessions from the website as described above, which will log you out of that device without needing to use its menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does signing out delete my watch history or saved shows?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and all profile settings stay with your account. When you sign back in, everything will be there. Signing out only removes your login session from that specific device.

If I sign out on my phone, am I signed out on my TV too?

No. Each device maintains its own login session. You must sign out on each device separately unless you use the "sign out everywhere" option from the website, which logs you out of all devices at once.

Can I sign out of someone else's device if they're using my account?

Yes. Log into your Peacock account on the website, go to Account Settings, find the Active Sessions or Devices section, and sign out of that specific device or all devices at once. This removes their access without changing your password.

What if I forgot my password and can't sign back in after signing out?

Go to the Peacock sign-in page and click "Forgot Password". Enter your email address, and Peacock will send you a link to reset it. Follow the link in your email, create a new password, and sign back in.

Is it safe to stay signed in on a shared device?

It depends on who else uses the device. If it's family you trust, staying signed in is convenient. If it's a public device or someone you don't trust, sign out when you're done. Anyone with access to the device can watch your account, see your watch history, and change your profile settings if you stay logged in.
