Plex TV Links refers to the device activation process that allows users to connect a Smart TV, streaming device, or gaming console to their Plex account. Instead of entering your username and password on a TV, Plex provides a temporary activation code that can be used to link the device securely.
To link your TV to the Plex app:
Open the Plex app on your TV.
Select Sign In.
A unique activation code will appear.
Open the Plex activation page on your phone or computer.
Sign in to your Plex account.
Enter the activation code.
Your TV will automatically connect to your account.
You can get a Plex link code by:
Launching the Plex app on your TV or streaming device.
Selecting the Sign In option.
Waiting for Plex to generate a temporary activation code.
Keeping the code visible until the activation process is complete.
To activate Plex on your TV:

Enter the code and submit it.
Your TV will refresh and become activated.

Sign into your Plex account.
Enter the code exactly as shown on your TV.

Wait for the activation process to finish.
The 4-digit Plex code is entered on the official Plex device activation page after signing in to your Plex account.
Once entered correctly, Plex verifies the code and links your device automatically.
