Plex.tv/link is the page where you enter the short code shown on your TV to sign in to the Plex app without typing your email and password with a remote. This guide covers everything you need: creating a Plex account, finding your Plex TV link sign in code, entering it at https://www.plex.tv/link, and fixing the most common activation problems on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and smart TVs. Plex.tv/link (also written as https plex.tv link or https www.plex.tv link) is the official Plex device linking page. When you open the Plex app on a TV or streaming device and choose Sign In, the app displays a 4-character code. You then open plex.tv/link on a phone, tablet, or computer, sign in to your Plex account, and enter that code. The TV signs in automatically a few seconds later. This method exists because typing a long email address and password with a TV remote is slow and error prone. With the link code, you do the typing on a device with a real keyboard.
