Troubleshooting Common Issues
Activation fails occasionally. Fix these common problems with simple adjustments.
Code Expired or Invalid
Your Activation Code lasts only a few minutes. If you wait too long, the code stops working. Generate a new code by selecting Back on your TV and choosing On the Web again. Enter the new code immediately.
Browser Errors
Old web browsers sometimes fail to load the activation page correctly. Clear your Browser Cache or try a different browser if the page freezes. Ensure you type paramountplus.com/tv correctly in the address bar, not the search bar.
App Crashes
An outdated app causes login failures. Check your TV’s app store for a Update button next to Paramount Plus. If the app continues to crash, Uninstall and Reinstall it to clear corrupted data.

Network Connection
A weak Wi-Fi signal prevents the app from verifying your code. Test your connection by opening another app like YouTube. If other apps fail, restart your Router and TV to refresh the connection.
