Paramount+ has quickly become a top streaming contender thanks to an ever-expanding catalog of new and classic movies, binge-worthy TV shows, riveting sports and more. As Vizio smart TV owners know, streaming apps transform modern television viewing into an immersive, customizable experience. Thankfully, you can now combine the two by accessing Paramount plus directly on compatible Vizio smart TV.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything needed to get Paramount+ set up on your Vizio TV using quick mobile casting capabilities, smart remote controls and voice commands tailored for the big-screen experience. Follow the instructions below and unlock Paramount+’s exciting entertainment offerings conveniently through your Vizio television.
Checking Paramount+ Compatibility on Vizio TVs
Paramount+ comes pre-installed on newer Vizio smart TV models manufactured from 2021 onwards. To double check, head to the Vizio home screen and see if the Paramount+ app tile featuring the signature mountain logo appears on the bottom row alongside other streaming services.
For older Vizio sets, you’ll need to manually search and install Paramount+ by:
1. Opening the Vizio SmartCast TV home screen
2. Selecting the magnifying glass icon to access the App Store
3. Searching for “Paramount Plus” and selecting the first result
4. Choosing “Install” to add the Paramount+ app onto your Vizio TV
The app only uses 30MB storage space, streams content directly, and functions flawlessly once opened. This enters your Vizio set into the robust Paramount+ entertainment catalog.
Casting Paramount+ from Your Mobile Device
If downloading full apps onto older Vizio models isn’t ideal, you can simply cast Paramount+ videos directly from your smartphone as well:
1. Connect both your Vizio TV and mobile device to the same WiFi network
2. Download or open the Paramount+ app on your phone
3. Begin playing any movie or show within the mobile app
4. Tap the Cast icon in the player screen to fling onto your Vizio TV
This quick 2-minute method avoids extensive smart TV configuration. However, using the dedicated Paramount+ Vizio app enables further viewing conveniences.

Once Paramount+ gets natively set up on your compatible Vizio television, you unlock additional features like:
● Voice commands via Vizio remote to search titles or genres

Paramount+ brings an exciting mix of nostalgic comfort shows plus captivating new exclusives to the streaming era. Connect conveniently through your Vizio TV for the ideal viewing environment. Use the Home/App Store to download or cast from your mobile – then optimize with Vizio-specific tools like voice control, profiles and more.
