Anyone know how to login to Pluto?

Does anyone know how to log in to Pluto?

I have it on several TVs, none of them are synchronized, I can't see any way to login with an account, but the website suggests it's easy???

    When you are in the the Pluto TV channel/app, press the Left arrow button (once or twice depending where you are in the channel/app) to bring up a left side Menu Overlay. (you should see Now Watching, Home, Channel Guide, On Demand, Search, Kids Mode, Settings, and Sign In).

    Select Sign In and you should be good to go.

    If having issues, try signing up for an account at Pluto website first. https://pluto.tv/en/account/sign-up.  Then go to your Roku device/Roku TV and sign in from the Pluto channel/app.  Make sure to use the email address and password of the Pluto account. (not the email and password of your Roku account, unless they are the same).

      There's no Home or Sign In in Pluto, and Settings has no option to sign in. Weird???

      I read that pluto is soon to be merged with My5

        Are you using a Roku device or a RokuTV?  If you just have PlutoTV installed on some smart TV (without Roku), then it may be that Sign In is not supported on that TV, or maybe the Pluto app needs to be updated on that TV's OS.

        On a Roku device/RokuTV, you should be seeing the full menu.

        If this is not a Roku device, then best place to find support may be directly from Pluto.   https://support.pluto.tv/s/contactsupport?language=en_US

    I'm having the same issue. Bought a Roku Ultra, looked to log into my pre-existing Pluto.tv account and there's no option to login, just Now Watching, Channel Guide, On Demand, Search and Settings. The Settings tab only has the options Send Feedback and Legal. I'm in the United States if that helps at all. Willing to provide any other info if it will help, just ask.
