You can create up to 6 profiles on your Peacock account, allowing different family members or friends to have their own personalized viewing experience. Each profile gets its own watch history, recommendations, and settings—making it easy for everyone to pick up where they left off.​
Creating a New Profile
Sign into your Peacock account on the app or website peacocktv.com/tv . Once you’re logged in, navigate to your profile settings where you’ll see your existing profiles displayed.​
Select the ‘+’ sign labeled ‘New Profile’ to start the setup process. You’ll be prompted to customize the new profile by selecting an avatar and entering a name.​​
Choose the profile type based on who will use it. Peacock offers three options: Kids profiles (with age-appropriate content ratings), Teen profiles, and Adult profiles. This helps protect younger viewers from inappropriate content.​
Save your settings to finalize the profile creation. The new profile will immediately appear alongside your other profiles, ready to use.​
Understanding Account Limitations
Peacock allows 3 simultaneous streams per account, regardless of whether you have the Free, Premium, or Premium Plus plan. This means three people can watch different content at the same time. If someone tries to start a fourth stream, they’ll need to wait until one of the active streams ends.​
You can install Peacock on unlimited devices, but the 3-stream limit still applies across all of them. Whether you’re watching on smart TVs, mobile devices, web browsers, or streaming devices like Roku and Fire TV, those three concurrent streams are shared.​
Activating Peacock on New Devices
Visit Peacocktv.com/tv/samsung from your phone or computer to link additional devices. This activation process connects your TV, streaming stick, or gaming console to your existing Peacock account.​
Download the Peacock app on the device you want to activate. Launch the app, and you’ll see an activation code displayed on your screen.​
Enter the activation code at peacocktv.com/tv and sign in with your Peacock credentials. After successful activation, the device will be linked to your account, and anyone can select their profile to start streaming.​

Managing Profiles and Parental Controls
Set maturity ratings when creating profiles to control what content each person can access. Kids profiles offer three maturity rating levels, while Teen and Adult profiles have their own content restrictions.​
Enable Profile Pin protection to prevent children from switching to adult profiles or changing settings without permission. This adds an extra layer of security for parents who want to maintain content boundaries.​
Note about the Account Holder profile: You cannot delete the original Account Holder profile. This primary profile remains permanently associated with your Peacock subscription, though you can still create, modify, and remove the other five profiles as needed.

FAQs
Can I share my password with friends?
Sharing your password outside your household goes against Peacock’s updated 2024-2025 terms of service. Peacock now enforces stricter rules on account sharing, similar to Netflix and Disney+, requiring users outside your home to have their own subscriptions or add-on memberships. If you share your login credentials with people living elsewhere, they may be blocked from accessing the service or trigger account verification warnings.​
Does adding a new profile cost extra?
No. You can add up to 5 additional profiles (6 total) to your Peacock account for free. The profile limit is the same whether you have the ad-supported Premium plan or the ad-free Premium Plus plan. However, keep in mind that “adding a profile” is different from “adding an extra member slot” for someone outside your home, which may incur additional monthly fees depending on current offers
