Did you know that Peacock doesn't only boast a plethora of great content, but it has multiple ways you can consume it. Whether you want to watch it on your big TV, a smartphone on the go, a tablet while eating or on your PC at work, the options are endless.

This NBCUniversal streaming service - which serves as an online home for all of its classic movies, current TV shows and live sports - is thankfully also very easy to watch on all devices. With two tiers to choose from -the $5.99 basic option and the $11.99 ads-free option, you also have multiple ways to view your favourite content.

But first things first: how do you watch Peacock on your PC? Fret not, we've got you covered...

How to watch Peacock on your computer

The first thing that you need to do if you want to watch Peacock on your computer is to visit www.peacocktv.com. Once there, in the top right corner of the screen there are “Join Now” and “Sign In” buttons. If you already subscribe to Peacock, you click “Sign In” and login with your credentials. If you are not a Peacock subscriber, select “Join Now.”

To sign up you will provide your email address and select what plan you want to use for Peacock. You'll need to enter billing information too.

Once that is taken care of, Peacock features a desktop web player that allows Mac, Window and Chromebook devices to stream any content that is available through whatever Peacock package you’ve signed up for on your computer.

In addition, once you’ve signed up for Peacock through the computer, you can then use that information to sign in through the Peacock app on any other device that is compatible with Peacock, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, PlayStation and Xbox.
