After connecting your Vizio Smart TV to Wi-Fi, the next step is activating your TV at vizio.com/setup. To do this, you’ll need a unique setup code that appears on your TV screen. This code is what links your TV to your Vizio account, unlocking streaming apps, smart features, and personalized settings.
Turn on your Vizio TV and complete the initial Wi-Fi connection.
A setup screen will appear with a unique 6-digit or alphanumeric code.
Keep this code visible on your screen — you’ll need it for activation.
On your mobile, tablet, or computer, open a web browser.
Go to vizio.com/setup.
Sign in or create a Vizio account.
Enter the setup code displayed on your TV screen.
Follow the prompts to complete activation.
Once done, your Vizio TV will be fully linked to your account, giving you access to apps, streaming services, and smart controls.
