What is Plex.tv/link?
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.How to activate Plex with Plex.tv/link
