paramountplus.com/samsungtv — How to Activate Paramount Plus on Your Samsung TV

If you’ve got Paramount Plus on your Samsung TV and it’s asking you to go to paramountplus.com/samsungtv, you’re in the right place. That URL is the activation page — you open it on your phone or computer, enter the code showing on your TV screen, and your Samsung TV is linked to your account. This guide walks you through the full process, covers the subscription options, and explains what to do when something doesn’t work the way it should.

What You Need Before You Activate at paramountplus.com/samsungtv

The activation itself takes about two minutes, but have these ready before you start:

• Your Paramount Plus account — you’ll need to be signed in on the activation page. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one during the process.
• A phone or computer — you’ll visit paramountplus.com/samsungtv on a second device while the activation code is displayed on your TV. You can’t complete this step on the TV itself.
• Your Samsung TV connected to the internet — either Wi-Fi or ethernet. The connection needs to be stable enough to load the app and display the code.
• The Paramount Plus app installed on your Samsung TV — if it isn’t already there, download it from the Samsung App Store through Smart Hub before you begin.

How to Set Up and Activate Paramount Plus on Samsung TV

Here’s the full activation process from start to finish:

1. On your Samsung TV, press the Home button on your remote to open Smart Hub.
2. Find and open the Paramount Plus app. If you don’t see it, go to the Samsung App Store, search for Paramount Plus, and install it first.
3. Open the app. On the welcome screen, select Sign In.
4. An activation code will appear on your TV screen — it’s usually a short alphanumeric code. Leave this screen open while you move to step 5.
5. On your phone or computer, go to paramountplus.com/samsungtv.
6. Sign in to your Paramount Plus account on that page. If you’re new, select Create Account and follow the prompts.
7. Enter the activation code shown on your TV screen.
8. Hit Activate. Within a few seconds, your Samsung TV app will refresh and take you directly to the Paramount Plus home screen.

Paramount Plus Subscription Plans

When you activate at paramountplus.com/samsungtv, you’ll either sign into an existing plan or choose a new one. Here’s what’s currently available:

If you’re unsure which to pick, the Essential plan covers the full Paramount Plus catalog. The SHOWTIME bundle is worth it if you want Dexter, Yellowjackets, or other SHOWTIME originals alongside Paramount content.

What You Get on Paramount Plus After Activation

Once your Samsung TV is activated through paramountplus.com/samsungtv, here’s what you’re working with:

• On-demand library — movies and TV shows from CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, the Paramount film library, and original series exclusive to the platform.
• Live TV — live CBS feed, CBS News, and live sports including NFL, college football, UEFA Champions League soccer, and more depending on your region and plan.
• 4K streaming — select titles stream in 4K Ultra HD on compatible Samsung TVs. Look for the 4K badge on content thumbnails.
• Multiple profiles — up to six profiles per account, each with its own watchlist and recommendations. Good for households where everyone watches different things.
• Downloads for offline viewing — on mobile, you can download select titles. This doesn’t apply to Samsung TV viewing, but if you watch on your phone or tablet too, it’s useful.
• Samsung-specific features — Bixby voice control lets you search for content, change shows, or adjust playback by speaking to your remote. You can also use the SmartThings app to control playback from your phone.

Troubleshooting Common Paramount Plus Issues on Samsung TV

Most problems people run into with Paramount Plus on Samsung TVs are fixable without calling anyone. Here’s what to try for the most common issues:

• Activation code not working at paramountplus.com/samsungtv.
  Make sure you’re entering the code exactly as displayed — codes are case-sensitive. Also confirm you’re signed into the correct Paramount Plus account. If the code has expired, go back to the app on your TV to generate a new one.
• App won’t load or crashes on launch.
  Close the app, go to Settings → Support → Device Care → Manage Storage on your Samsung TV, find Paramount Plus, and clear its cache. Then relaunch. If that doesn’t work, delete and reinstall the app from the Samsung App Store.
• Buffering or poor video quality.
  Run a speed test on your TV (Settings → General → Network → Network Status) to check your connection. Paramount Plus recommends at least 4 Mbps for standard streaming and 25 Mbps for 4K. If your speed is fine but buffering continues, try changing the video quality setting in the Paramount Plus app settings.
• Can’t find the Paramount Plus app on your Samsung TV.
  Older Samsung TVs (pre-2016) may not support the app. Check your TV model number on Samsung’s compatibility page. If your TV is supported but the app isn’t showing, make sure your TV’s firmware is up to date — go to Settings → Support → Software Update.
• Signed in on the TV but can’t access your subscription content.
  This usually means you’re signed into a different account than the one with the active subscription. Sign out on the TV, go back to paramountplus.com/samsungtv, and sign in with the correct credentials.
• Live TV or sports not appearing.
  Live CBS and sports are only available on plans that include them — check that your subscription level includes live content. Also verify you’re in a supported region, as some live content has geographic restrictions.
