First, install the app. On Android, open Google Play and look for “Pluto TV.” On iOS, go to the App Store. Windows users can get it from the Microsoft Store. macOS fans just open the web version at pluto.tv. Smart‑TV owners tap the store, search, and hit install—simple as that.

If you’re outside the U.S., Pluto TV will block you faster than a toddler blocks a cookie jar. That’s where Forest VPN comes in. Connect to a U.S. server, launch the app, and you’re in. The VPN keeps your data private, and the connection is lightning‑fast, so you’ll feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. It also bypasses ISP throttling, keeping buffering at bay like a well‑tuned engine. With a generous bandwidth allowance, you can binge without worrying about data caps. Your privacy stays intact, letting you stream freely.

Ads can feel like unwanted background music. Upgrade to Pluto TV Premium for a clean, ad‑free stream, or use a browser ad‑blocker like uBlock Origin. On a mobile device, Forest VPN’s split‑tunneling lets you keep other apps on your local network while Pluto TV stays hidden. If you’re into sports, the free sports channels give you live action without a price tag.

Want to watch shows offline? Pluto TV doesn’t officially support downloads, but you can screen‑record episodes on Android 11+, iOS 11+, or Windows 10. Just hit record, play, and save—like capturing a movie on a tiny personal cinema screen.

Finally, customize your channel list. Open “My Channels” or “Channels” and drag your favorites to the top. On smart TVs, tap the star icon to create a watchlist. That way, when you hit play, you’re greeted by the shows you love, not a random assortment.
