How to Use vizio.com/setup Enter Code

What is vizio.com/setup?

Vizio.com/setup is the official Vizio website where you enter activation codes to link streaming apps on your Vizio Smart TV. When you launch apps like Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ for the first time, they display an activation code that must be entered at vizio.com/setup to authorize the app on your TV.

Step-by-Step: Enter Code at vizio.com/setup

Follow these simple steps to activate your Vizio TV app:

1. Get Your Activation Code

On your Vizio TV, open the app you want to activate. The app will display a 6-8 character activation code on the screen. Write this code down or take a photo of it.

2. Open vizio.com/setup

On your computer, smartphone, or tablet, open a web browser and visit vizio.com/setup. Make sure you type the URL exactly as shown.

3. Sign In to the Streaming Service

You'll be prompted to sign in to the streaming service account (e.g., your Netflix or Hulu account). Enter your email and password for that service.

4. Enter the Activation Code

Once signed in, you'll see a field asking for the activation code. Type the code exactly as shown on your TV screen. Codes are usually case-insensitive but enter them carefully.

5. Click Activate

After entering the code, click the "Activate" or "Continue" button. The website will verify the code and link your TV to your account.

6. Confirm on Your TV

Return to your Vizio TV. Within a few seconds, you should see a confirmation message that the app has been activated. You can now start using the app.

Troubleshooting Tips

Code Expired

Activation codes expire after 10-15 minutes. If your code expired, exit the app and reopen it to generate a new code.

Invalid Code Error

Double-check that you entered the code exactly as displayed. Pay attention to the difference between numbers and letters (0 vs O, 1 vs I).

Page Won't Load

Verify your internet connection and try a different browser. Clear your browser cache if the page isn't loading properly.
