How do I subscribe to Paramount+ on a Vizio TV when the remote is hard to use?
Answer
Start the Paramount+ signup on a phone or computer browser, then sign in on the Vizio TV app with that same account. If the remote makes typing painful, use a phone keyboard, QR code, or Vizio’s mobile remote app when the TV offers it.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Stop if a site or popup asks for payment outside Paramount+ or Vizio’s normal checkout screens.
Follow these steps
Create or renew Paramount+ on a phone or computer
On a phone or computer browser, open paramountplus.com, choose the plan you want (including annual if offered), and create or sign in with an email and password you will remember.
You should see: Your Paramount+ account shows as active on the website before you return to the TV.
Open Paramount+ on the Vizio TV
On the Vizio home screen, open the Paramount+ app. If it is missing, open the Vizio app store, install Paramount+, then launch it.
You should see: The Paramount+ app opens and shows Sign in, Register, or similar options.
Sign in with the account you just set up
Choose Sign in. If the TV shows a QR code or short activation code, scan or enter that code on your phone. Otherwise carefully enter the same email and password from the website. If typing is too hard with the old remote, try Vizio’s SmartCast Mobile app as a remote keyboard.
You should see: The TV signs into your Paramount+ account and shows the home or browse screen.
Confirm playback on the TV
Play a short title from the Paramount+ library to confirm the subscription is active on this Vizio set.
You should see: Video starts playing, or you see a clear sign-in or plan message you can act on.

Extra tips
What to look for: Whether setup stops halfway on the Vizio Paramount+ app, and whether the TV shows a QR code, activation code, or Sign in option that can be finished on another device.
Before you change anything: Decide whether you want Paramount+ billed through the TV store or directly on paramountplus.com—plans and prices can differ. Write down the email and password you will use before you start on the TV. Confirm you are on the official Paramount+ app or website before entering payment details. Never share your password or one-time codes with unexpected callers.
