Àyes how to get this setup 

[RokuCarly · Accepted solution]

Welcome, and thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @Tinazills!

We appreciate you reaching out for support. We'd be happy to help you install the Paramount Plus on your Roku device.

Just like you access an “app store” on your smartphone to add new applications, you access the Roku Store to add new channels or apps to your Roku® streaming player or Roku TV™.

1. Press Home on your Roku remote
2. Scroll and select Store 
3. Select Channels, then browse by genre, recommended, featured, top free, and other categories
4. When you want to learn more about an app, press OK on your remote
5. If the app is free, select Add channel; if the app requires a subscription, select OK to start a free trial or purchase a subscription

The app will be added to the bottom of the list of apps on the home screen. If you prefer, the app can be moved higher up the list.

For accessing your channel subscription, we highly recommend reaching out to the channel provider for further assistance. You may reach them here: Paramount Plus Support

We hope you find this information helpful. Let us know if you need further clarification and assistance. 

Warm regards,
Carly

This answer does not adequately answer the posted "question". 

People who have a subscription to Walmart+ (which provides a cost savings by charging one monthly fee for all deliveries in lieu of paying for each of them separately) also offers the Paramount+ channel for free.

The question is this: How do you add that free channel to Roku without signing up for a paid subscription? We want to access the channel (as you described in your response) without being charged for adding it.

Any suggestions?

@Tori, in general, you don't get charged for simply adding an app.  There are exceptions, but none of the big streaming providers (e.g., Paramount+, Peacock, Netflix, etc.) charge to add their app.  Once you add it, you'll have to link it to the subscription you got through Walmart+.  I know I've seen instructions somewhere in this "community", but it's really a Paramount/Walmart issue, not a Roku issue.
