To enter your code at Peacocktv.com/tv and start watching, you need to sync your TV with your web browser. This process connects your TV screen to your Peacock account in seconds.
Follow these specific steps to get it done.
Get Your Activation Code
You first need the activation code from your TV.
Turn on your smart TV or streaming device. Open the Peacock app. If you do not have it, search for “Peacock” in your device’s app store and download it.
Select Sign In on the welcome screen. You will see a 6-digit code appear on your TV. This is your key. Keep this screen open.
Enter the Code on Your Browser
Grab your phone, tablet, or laptop. You need a web browser for this part.
Go to peacocktv.com/tv in your address bar. You will see a box asking for the code.
Type the 6-digit code from your TV screen into the box on your browser.
Press Continue.
The system verifies the code immediately. Your TV screen refreshes on its own. You are now logged in.
Creating an Account
You need an active account before you enter any code.
If you lack an account, the website prompts you to create one. Select Sign Up. Enter your email and create a password. Pick your plan. You can choose between Premium and Premium Plus.
Once you finish the signup, the site redirects you back to the activation page. Enter your code there.

Troubleshooting Common Problems
Sometimes technology fails. Here is how you fix it.
The Code Does Not Work
You might see an error message saying the code is invalid. This happens if the code expires.
Go back to your TV. Select Get New Code or restart the Peacock app. A fresh code appears. Enter this new code immediately.
The App Crashes
Your TV cache might be full. Turn off your TV. Unplug it from the wall for 60 seconds. Plug it back in. This clears the temporary memory.
Open the app again. It should run smoothly now.
You Cannot Sign In
Check your password. It is case sensitive. Ensure your email is correct.
If you use a bundle like Xfinity or Spectrum, you might need to link your accounts first. Go to your account settings on the provider website to activate your Peacock benefit before you try to sign in on the TV.
The Screen Freezes
Check your internet connection. You need decent speed to stream.
Restart your router if the connection drops. Unplug the power cord. Wait ten seconds. Plug it in. Wait for the lights to stabilize. Try the activation steps again.
Making It Easier
Keep your phone handy. You do not want to run back and forth between your computer room and the living room.
Use the camera on your phone. Scan the QR code if one appears on the TV screen. This saves you from typing the URL manually. It takes you straight to the right page.
Bookmark peacocktv.com tv/samsung . You might need it again if you log out or switch devices.
This process works for almost every device. You follow the same pattern. App. Code. Website. Watch.
Get started now. Your shows are waiting.
