To add Paramount Plus on LG Smart TV, press the Home button on your remote and install the app from the LG Content Store, the whole process takes only a few minutes. This is the primary method for getting the streaming service running on your TV, and it works on all compatible LG models.
Check your LG TV is compatible
Paramount+ is supported on all LG TVs running webOS 4.0 or higher, which includes every model from 2018 to the current lineup. If you are unsure about your TV’s software version, you can manually check for updates as a fallback: press the Menu button on your remote, select System, and then choose “Check for Updates.” LG Smart TVs automatically check for the latest app and TV software versions, but this manual step ensures you are on the newest firmware before installing the app.
Install the Paramount Plus app
Once compatibility is confirmed, the installation is straightforward. Follow these steps in order:
- Press the Home button on your remote control.
- Open the LG Content Store from the home screen.
- Select the Magnifying Glass icon (search icon) within the store.
- Search for “Paramount+” using the on-screen keyboard.
- Select the Paramount+ app from the search results and click Install.
The app will appear in your apps list once the installation finishes. If you ever need to refresh the app later, you can use the same store to update Paramount Plus on your LG Smart TV, keeping it current ensures you get the latest features and fixes.
Sign in to your Paramount Plus account
After installation, launch the Paramount+ app and go to Settings, then select Sign In. You have two verified ways to log in:
- On My TV, Enter your registered email and password directly using the on-screen keyboard.
- On the Web, Choose this option to receive an activation code, then visit paramountplus.com/tv on a computer or mobile device, enter the code, and activate.
If you do not have an account yet, you can sign up by visiting paramountplus.com/lgtv on a computer or mobile browser. There, you will create an account, choose a plan, and enter payment information, then return to your TV to sign in with the method above.
Start streaming
Once signed in, the app is ready to use, browse categories, pick a title, and press play. The service works immediately on your LG TV, and you can revisit the LG Content Store anytime to check for app updates if playback ever becomes sluggish.
