Vizio Feature Lets Users Manage Streaming Accounts From One Place

Vizio announced a smart TV feature Tuesday that lets customers subscribe to their streaming services and consolidate subscriptions from partnering streaming services in one place. After a one-time log-in, users can subscribe to new services and consolidate them with others. Benefits, the company says, are a single place to subscribe, track payments and manage streaming services; easy account maintenance for all Vizio TVs connected to a Vizio account; automatic TV registration; “easier tech support check-in"; access to special sales and offers; and email notifications about new features and products. The first headliner services are Discovery+ and Starz; others include Baby Einstein, Midnight Pulp, AsianCrush, Cineouse, KORTV, RetroCrush, Cocoro, ToonGoggles, Love Destination, Wu Tang Collection and Party Tyme, The Archive and Novocomedy, a spokesperson emailed. “Many more” apps are coming in fall, including The Weather Channel, she said. The company wouldn’t disclose the revenue percentage it gets from signups. Responding to a question on whether subscription consolidation features are only available for new subscriptions, the spokesperson said additional services will be available for subscription and consolidation “as those streaming services add support for Vizio Account.” The feature is available on most Vizio smart TVs, the company said.
