Deal

Chromecast is one of the cheapest ways to watch content on the TV from streaming apps. You can use it to cast content from your iOS or Android mobile device to a TV.

Start by setting up the Paramount Plus app on your mobile device and sign in or create an account. If your Chromecast isn't up and running yet, take the time to set it up.

When that's done, locate the episode or movie you want to watch from the Paramount Plus app, open the content and tap on the Cast icon near the top corner of your screen. Finally, select your TV from the list of available devices and watch on your TV.

If you have Chromecast with Google TV, simply install the Paramount Plus app, launch it and start watching. You can also cast from a laptop with the Google Chrome browser and the Google Cast extension.

Stream Paramount Plus with Apple TV

Launch the App Store on your Apple TV, search for the Paramount Plus app and install it. Once installed, launch the app and log in with your credentials.

Alternatively, you can subscribe to Paramount Plus directly via Apple Channels if you prefer your content all in 1 app. Open the Apple TV app, search for and select Paramount Plus, sign up and start streaming.
