Sign Out From Your Peacock Account

To log out of Peacock on a computer, go to your account menu in the top right corner of the screen, select "Sign Out," and confirm. The process takes about 10 seconds. After you sign out, anyone using that computer will need to enter login credentials to watch Peacock again.

Logging out is useful if you share a computer with other people, if you're using a public or borrowed device, or if you want to switch to a different Peacock account. It clears your session but does not delete your account or any saved shows and preferences — those stay attached to your account and will reappear the next time you log back in.

Key Takeaways

  • Click the profile icon or account menu in the top right corner of Peacock's website or app and select "Sign Out" to end your session when ready.
  • After you sign out, your watch history and saved shows remain in your account and will be there when you log back in.
  • If you cannot find the account menu, refresh the page or clear your browser cache, then try again.
  • Signing out on one device does not sign you out on other devices — you must sign out separately on each computer, phone, or tablet.

Step-by-Step Sign Out Instructions

Open Peacock in your web browser and look at the top right corner of the screen. You will see a circular profile icon or a menu button (sometimes labeled with three horizontal lines). Click on it.

A dropdown menu will appear with several options. Look for "Sign Out" or "Log Out" — the exact wording depends on whether you're on the Peacock website or using the desktop app. Click that option. Peacock will ask you to confirm; click "Sign Out" again if prompted. You are now logged out.

If you do not see an account menu in the top right corner, your browser may not have loaded the page fully. Refresh the page by pressing F5 or Ctrl+R (on Windows) or Command+R (on Mac), wait a few seconds, and look again. If the menu still does not appear, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then reload Peacock.

What Happens After You Sign Out

Once you sign out, the Peacock homepage will show a login screen. No one can watch your account or see your watch history without entering your email and password. Your saved shows, watchlist, and viewing progress are all stored on Peacock's servers and will not be lost.

The next time you or anyone else logs into that account on that computer, everything will be exactly as you left it. Signing out does not reset your preferences, delete your profile, or remove any shows from your watchlist. It only ends the current session.

Signing Out on Multiple Devices

If you use Peacock on more than one computer, phone, or tablet, you must sign out on each device separately. Signing out on your laptop does not automatically sign you out on your phone or work computer. Each device maintains its own session.

To check where you are currently logged in, go to your account settings on Peacock's website (usually found under your profile menu) and look for a section called "Devices" or "Active Sessions." Some accounts show a list of devices currently using your account. If you see a device you do not recognize or no longer use, you can sign out of that device remotely from this menu.

Troubleshooting Sign-Out Problems

If you click "Sign Out" but the page does not change or you remain logged in, try closing your browser completely and reopening it. Sometimes a browser session gets stuck. Close all Peacock tabs and windows, wait a few seconds, then open Peacock again in a fresh browser window.

If the problem continues, clear your browser's cookies and cache. In most browsers, you can do this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Command+Shift+Delete (Mac), selecting "All Time" or "Everything," and checking the boxes for "Cookies" and "Cached Images and Files." Then close the browser, reopen it, and try signing out again.

If you are using the Peacock desktop app rather than the website, uninstall and reinstall the app. This often fixes sign-out issues that persist after clearing the browser cache. read the app fresh from the official Peacock website or your computer's app store.

Signing Out vs. Pausing Your Account

Signing out and pausing your account are two different things. Signing out straightforward ends your current session on that device — your account remains active and you can log back in anytime. Pausing your account temporarily stops your subscription and prevents charges, but you keep your saved shows and watch history.

If you want to stop using Peacock for a while but plan to return, pausing is an option. If you just want to prevent someone else from watching on a shared computer, signing out is the right choice. You can pause or cancel your account through your account settings, usually under "Subscription" or "Billing."

Frequently Asked Questions

Does signing out delete my watch history?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and all account preferences stay in your account. They will be there the next time you log in, whether that is in five minutes or five months.

Will signing out on my computer sign me out on my phone?

No. Each device has its own session. You must sign out separately on your phone, tablet, laptop, and any other device where you use Peacock. Signing out on one device does not affect the others.

What if I forgot my password and cannot sign back in?

Go to the Peacock login page and click "Forgot Password." Enter the email address associated with your account, and Peacock will send you a link to reset your password. Follow the link in the email to create a new password, then log in with your email and new password.

Can I sign out of my account on someone else's computer?

Yes. Log into your Peacock account on the website, go to your account settings, and look for "Devices" or "Active Sessions." You can sign out of any device listed there without having to physically access that device. This is useful if you shared your password with someone and want to revoke their access.

Is it safe to stay logged in on a public computer?

No. Always sign out before leaving a public or shared computer. If you forget to sign out, anyone using that computer afterward can watch your account and see your watch history. If you realize you forgot to sign out, log back in and sign out remotely through your account settings, or change your password to end all active sessions.
