The new Paramount Plus streaming service has launched, but you’ll need to install an app on your Roku device if you want to watch it. Here we’ll reveal what Paramount+ delivers and how you can get it on your Roku streaming device.
What is Paramount Plus?
Paramount Plus is like Netflix or Amazon Prime, in that it’s a streaming service with lots of film and TV shows to stream. Paramount owns the rights to Mission Impossible, Indiana Jones and Star Trek, amongst other things. For Trekkies in the UK, this is the first time you’ve been able to watch the back catalogue on a streaming service.
Right now, they also have a 7 day free trial, so if you’re not sure about committing your hard-earned cash, this seems like a great way to check it out first.
How do I install Paramount Plus on Roku?
Time needed: 2 minutes
Add the Paramount Plus app on Roku
