Firestick Paramount Plus Not Working

Experiencing trouble with Paramount Plus on your Firestick can be frustrating, especially when you’re all set for a movie night or catching up on your favorite series. This common issue can arise from various factors, ranging from technical glitches to connectivity problems.

If Paramount Plus is not working on your Firestick, it could be due to an outdated app version. Apps require regular updates for optimal performance. To fix this, go to the Firestick home screen, select ‘Apps’, find Paramount Plus, and check for any available updates. Install them to ensure the app runs smoothly.

Another reason might be cache-related problems within the Firestick. Over time, the cache can become cluttered, leading to performance issues. Clearing the cache can often resolve these problems. Go to the Firestick’s settings, navigate to ‘Applications’, select ‘Manage Installed Applications’, find Paramount Plus, and choose ‘Clear Cache’ and ‘Clear Data’.

You can also try to return your Fire Stick to Factory Settings. To do so, go to the Home Button on your Remote. Then go to Settings and then to My Fire TV.

Some older Firestick models may have a setting for Device or System instead of My Fire TV.

Now, select Reset to Factory Defaults. Then go to Reset Amazon Fire TV Cube to Original Factory Settings.

Then, just wait for the Firestick to fully reset.

If your Firestick Paramount Plus App Won’t Open, there are several simple troubleshooting steps you can take to try to resolve the issue. First, you can try to Force Close your Paramount Plus App.

If your Firestick Paramount Plus is not working and your Firestick Paramount Plus App won’t open, go to your Home Screen. Double Click on the Home Button on the Remote. Swipe to the Right to find the Paramount Plus App. Swipe Up to force the closure of the App.

Then restart your Firestick by turning on your Smart TV and waiting for the Firestick Home Screen to appear. On the Remote, press and hold Home for several seconds. Then click on Settings using your Remote. You can also try to unplug your TV. Then go to Settings and then to System and then to Restart.

If you are using your Firestick with an Apple TV Remote or Siri Remote (2nd generation Apple TV Remote), Press and hold down the HOME and Menu buttons at the same time until you see a green light begin to flash on your Apple TV device.

Now, go ahead and unplug the Apple TV. Keep it unplugged for 6 seconds. Then plug it back in.

 At this point, reboot your router. Power cycle it by unplugging it from the power outlet. If you have a separate modem as well, unplug the modem from the power source first, and then proceed to wait 10 seconds before plugging it back in.

Plug the modem in first before plugging the router back in. When the router is recycled after a short period of time, now go ahead, and connect to your streaming device and then test to see if the live streaming is proceeding normally.

If this still has not solved the problem, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Paramount Plus App for Firestick.

Highlight the Paramount Plus Icon and then hold and press the Apple TV’s Trackpad that is on the Apple TV Remote until you observe the movement of the icon.

Press Pause/Play on the Remote and then press Delete in confirmation of the fact that you do want to delete the app.
