To get Peacock on your TV, you either install the Peacock app directly on your smart TV/streaming device or stream (cast) it from your phone/tablet/computer.

1. Quick steps for most smart TVs

On newer Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, TCL and other smart TVs, you just add the Peacock app from the TV’s app store.

General steps (works similarly on most brands):

  1. Turn on your TV and connect it to Wi‑Fi.
  1. Press the Home or Smart button on your remote to open the main menu.
  1. Open the Apps / App Store / Google Play Store / LG Content Store (name depends on brand).
  1. Use Search and type “Peacock” or “Peacock TV”.
  1. Select the Peacock app, then choose Install or Add channel.
  1. Open the app and sign in or create a Peacock account to start watching.

If your TV is older and Peacock doesn’t show in the app store, you can still watch using a streaming device or casting (next sections).

2. Brand-specific basics

Different TV brands call menus and stores by different names, but the flow is the same: open app store → search Peacock → install → sign in.

Samsung Smart TV (2017 or newer):

  • Press Home → go to Apps → search “Peacock”.
  • Select it → Install → open and sign in.

LG Smart TV (webOS 3.5+):

  • Press Home/Start → open LG Content Store → search “Peacock”.
  • Install → open app → sign in.

Vizio SmartCast TV:

  • Press Home → find the Peacock icon in the app row or search.
  • Press OK → sign in.

Android TV / Google TV (Sony, Hisense, TCL, Philips, etc.):

  • Press Home → open Google Play Store / Apps.
  • Search “Peacock TV” → Install → open → sign in.

Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV boxes/sticks:

  • Go to the device’s Channel Store / Appstore.
  • Search for Peacock → Add channel / Get / Install → open and sign in.

3. If your TV doesn’t support the app

If your TV is too old or Peacock isn’t available in its app store, you still have a few easy options.

Option A – Plug in a streaming device:

  • Get a Roku , Amazon Fire TV Stick , Apple TV , or Chromecast with Google TV.
  • Plug it into an HDMI port on your TV, follow its setup, then install Peacock from that device’s app store and sign in.

Option B – Cast from your phone or tablet:

  • Install the Peacock app on your Android or iOS device.
  • Make sure phone and TV (or Chromecast/compatible device) are on the same Wi‑Fi network.
  • Start a show in the Peacock app, tap the Cast icon (Android/Chromecast) or AirPlay icon (Apple), then pick your TV.

Option C – Cast from a computer (Chrome browser):

  • Open Google Chrome on your computer and go to Peacock’s website.
  • Click the three dots menu → Cast → choose your Chromecast‑enabled TV or device to mirror the video.

4. Activating with a code (when it shows on TV)

Sometimes Peacock asks you to activate on another device with a code the first time you open it.

  • Open Peacock on your TV and note the activation code shown.
  • On your phone or computer, go to the Peacock activation site (the URL shown on your TV, often peacocktv.com/tv).
  • Sign in to your Peacock account and enter the code to link the TV.
  • If it fails, double‑check letters vs numbers (O vs 0, l vs 1) or refresh the page and reopen the app.

5. If Peacock still won’t work

If the app installs but won’t open or streams poorly, a few simple fixes usually solve it.

  • Restart the TV and your router.
  • Check your internet speed ; streaming needs a stable connection.
  • Update TV software/firmware from the Settings menu, then try opening Peacock again.
  • If the app is missing on an older TV, use a streaming stick (Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Apple TV).
