āœ… What you can do (Troubleshooting steps)

Here’s a checklist you can run through:

  1. Check your internet connection

    • Make sure you have steady download speed. A wired connection or closer WiFi helps

    • Restart your router/modem. (Unplug ~30 seconds, plug back in).

  2. Update the app / device

    • In your device’s app store, check if Paramount Plus has an update.

    • Also update the device firmware/OS (smart TV, streaming stick, phone) if applicable.

  3. Clear app cache / reinstall the app

    • On many devices you can clear cache or ā€œforce stopā€ the app, then relaunch.

    • If still failing, uninstall the app and reinstall it.

  4. Check network interference

    • Disable any VPN, proxy or special DNS you might be using (some of these cause issues with Paramount Plus).

    • Temporarily disable ad‑blocker or custom DNS on your router or device and test streaming.

  5. Try a different device or network

    • If you have another device (phone, tablet, computer) try streaming there to check if issue is device‑specific.

    • Try a different network (for example mobile hotspot) to see if your home network is causing it.

  6. Confirm your subscription/account status

    • Log in via a browser to your account and ensure everything is active.

    • Some errors occur if the account has issues or region restrictions apply.

  7. Contact Paramount Plus support

    • If nothing works, provide them with details: device type, app version, what you were trying to watch, when error occurred. They may check if there are outages or backend problems.


🌐 Widespread Issue Check

If none of the above work, the problem might be on Paramount Plus’s end:

  • Check for Server Outages: Search for “Paramount Plus down” on Google or check sites like DownDetector to see if other users are reporting the same issue. If it’s a major outage, you’ll simply have to wait.
