by Samsung Smart TVs come with a number of pre-loaded apps, including popular streaming apps, but unfortunately Paramount Plus doesn’t. Samsung is one of the top TV brands in the world, and its TVs are packed with impressive features, some of which have set the industry standard. At CES 2021, for example, they announced that their new TVs will come with a solar-powered remote control. Earlier this year, the company went a step further when it announced a remote control that uses the wireless router’s radio waves to charge itself.
Paramount Plus is a streaming service from ViacomCBS Streaming. When it first launched in 2014, it was called CBS All Access, before changing to its current name following the merger of CBS and Viacom. The service is available in several countries, including the US, and comes in two plans — one costs $4.99 per month with ads and the other costs $9.99 per month without there are ads. Advertise and support live local CBS stations.
Samsung doesn’t pre-install Paramount Plus on TVs, but setting up and running the service is fairly straightforward if the TV is compatible. According to Paramount Plus, this app works on Samsung Smart TVs released in 2017 or later. To install the Paramount Plus app on your TV, press the Home button on your TV’s remote. It will display a menu showing available movies/TV shows and installed applications. Next, scroll down the row of apps and scroll to the left until you see the “Search” icon. Click on it and search for Paramount Plus. Search results must include apps with a download icon. Select it and continue with the installation. Sign in with an existing account or follow the instructions to sign up.
there are other ways
Installing apps from your TV’s app store isn’t the only way to get Paramount Plus on your Samsung TV. If your TV comes with the Apple TV app pre-installed, there’s no need to install a separate app for Paramount Plus. The Apple TV app is included with select 2018 Samsung TVs but is standard on models released in 2019 and beyond. To get Paramount Plus on your TV using the Apple TV app, launch the app and sign in with your Apple ID. Next, select the Watch Now tab and scroll down to the Apple TV channel. Select the Paramount+ channel and start your free trial. Users will be charged a subscription fee according to their Apple ID after the free trial period ends. Paramount Plus recommends Apple TV users verify their accounts on its website. Doing so and creating a Paramount Plus username and password will enable streaming services on the Paramount Plus website or app.
Another option for those with TVs without the Paramount Plus or Apple TV apps is through a compatible streaming box or box, or a game console like PlayStation4/5 or Xbox One or later. These consoles support the Apple TV app, so users can watch Paramount Plus using the method described above. The Paramount Plus app is available on Android TV through the Google Play Store. It also works with Fire TV devices and some Roku TV devices. Another option is to mirror or cast devices like phones or tablets to your Samsung Smart TV.
