Is there a way to sync or connect apps or services to my Apple TV?

I subscribe to paramount plus and connected it to my Apple TV. However I can’t watch any paramount shows on my AppleTV apps on video game consoles?

There's 2 ways to subscribe to Apps, through the standalone App for each service, or through the channel inside the Apple TV App.


If you subscribed through the stand alone App on the Apple TV, the you need to use the Stand Alone App on other platforms to access that subscription. You cannot use the channel inside the Apple TV app.


If you subscribed through the Channel inside the Apple TV App, then you can use the subscription with the channel inside the TV App on other platforms, but will not be able to use the stand alone App.

So you should be able to use the stand alone app on those platforms.


On the Apple TV box there are 2 options to access Paramount+ If you used the stand alone App on the Apple TV box, then you need to use the stand alone App on the game console.
