By Mack Ashworth

For those wondering “Why does my Paramount Plus keep freezing?” and how to fix it, this article details a number of solutions that should help. Whether you’re watching Paramount Plus on a TV streaming box like a Roku or Fire TV, your Android or iPhone device, or just an internet browser, these solutions and workarounds should help to fix the problem.

Why does my Paramount Plus keep freezing?

Your Paramount Plus can keep freezing for a number of reasons including:

  • Using a low-powered device.
    • Some low-powered phones, TVs, and computers can become throttled when streaming high-quality video. This is especially the case for 4K video.
  • Streaming devices overheating.
    • When streaming during hotter weather or in a room with poor ventilation, it’s possible for streaming devices to become throttled, slowing down their processors and causing poor performance.
    • This most commonly occurs with video game consoles, especially when they are stored within a TV cabinet.
  • Having a slow internet connection.
    • A slow internet connection can cause content to freeze while it waits for the next part of the show or movie to load.
    • Even if you have a fast internet connection, other devices can hog the bandwidth and prevent you from streaming smoothly.
  • The app could require a restart.
    • Sometimes applications can simply encounter rare errors that haven’t yet been tracked and fixed by the developer.
  • Paramount Plus could be down.
