Activate Peacock on Your VIZIO TV

Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service, offers a vast library of movies, TV shows, originals, live sports, and news. Activating Peacock on your VIZIO SmartCast TV is a straightforward process that will grant you access to this diverse content directly on your big screen. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:   

1. Download and Install the Peacock App

The first step is to ensure the Peacock app is installed on your VIZIO TV. Most modern VIZIO SmartCast TVs come with a selection of pre-installed apps, and Peacock is usually among them.

• Navigate to the SmartCast Home Screen: Press the “V” button or the “Home” button on your VIZIO remote to access the SmartCast interface.
• Find the App Store: Look for an icon labeled “App Store,” “V Store,” or something similar. Select it.
• Search for Peacock: Use the search function within the app store and type “Peacock.”
• Select and Install: Find the Peacock app in the search results and select it. Then, click “Install” or “Add Channel” to download and install the app on your TV.

Once the app is installed, you’ll need to launch it and sign in to your Peacock account.

• Open the Peacock App: Navigate back to your SmartCast home screen and find the Peacock app icon. Select it to open.
• Select “Sign In”: On the welcome screen, you’ll typically see options to “Sign Up” or “Sign In.” If you already have a Peacock account, select “Sign In.”   
• Follow On-Screen Instructions: The app will likely present you with a few ways to sign in. One common method involves an activation code.

3. Activate Via Activation Code (Most Common Method)

Using an activation code is a simple way to link your existing Peacock account to your VIZIO TV.

• Note the Activation Code: Your VIZIO TV screen will display a unique activation code. Write this code down carefully. It’s usually a combination of letters and numbers.
• Go to Peacock’s Activation Website: On a separate device (your smartphone, tablet, or computer), open a web browser and go to peacocktv.com/activate or peacocktv.com/tv.
• Enter the Activation Code: You’ll be prompted to enter the activation code that appeared on your VIZIO TV screen. Type it in exactly as it is displayed.
• Sign In to Your Peacock Account: After entering the code, you’ll be asked to sign in to your Peacock account using your email address and password.
• Activation Complete: Once you’ve signed in, your VIZIO TV will automatically refresh, and you’ll be logged into your Peacock account. You can now start browsing and streaming content.

4. Alternative Sign-In Methods

Depending on your VIZIO TV model and the Peacock app version, you might encounter other sign-in options:

• Direct Sign-In on TV: You might be able to directly enter your email address and password using the on-screen keyboard and your VIZIO remote. This can be a bit more cumbersome but is a direct way to log in.
• Linking via Mobile App: Some apps allow you to link your TV by signing into the Peacock mobile app on your phone while both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Follow the prompts within the mobile app if this option is available.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Ensure Same Wi-Fi: Make sure both your VIZIO TV and your other device (phone, computer) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Double-Check the Code: When using an activation code, ensure you enter it correctly, paying attention to capitalization.
• Restart Devices: If you encounter issues, try restarting both your VIZIO TV and the device you’re using for activation.
• Update Apps and Firmware: Ensure your VIZIO TV’s firmware and the Peacock app are updated to the latest versions.
• Contact Support: If you continue to have trouble, visit the Peacock help center (peacocktv.com/help) for further assistance or contact their customer support.
