WHAT IF THE CRACKLE ACTIVATION CODE DOESN’T SHOW?

If Crackle does not display an activation code, it could be for one of the following reasons:

1. You Are Not Logged Into Your Crackle Account

You can easily resolve this issue by logging into your account with the same information you used to sign up. If you haven’t already signed up, do so before you begin the activation process. Remember that if you are not in the United States or Canada, you cannot sign up or activate.

2. Your TV Is In Dark Mode

Have you recently reduced the resolution of your television or switched to Dark Mode? Your activation code may be displayed in a darker color, making it impossible for you to see it. To view the code, exit Dark Mode or increase the brightness of your TV or monitor.

Go to Settings > Audio/Video > TV Resolution and select “Auto” when using Apple TV. If this does not work, continue to the next step.

3. You Are Using An Outdated HDMI Cable

When using an older HDMI cable, the code may not display. Unplug your HDMI cable for about 30 seconds before plugging it back in when using a media streaming device. If the code does not appear, replace the cable and try again. Get a modern cable, such as the PowerBear 4K HDMI cable, to avoid this issue.

WHAT IF THE CRACKLE ACTIVATION CODE IS NOT WORKING?

So you got your activation code, but entering it into Crackle doesn’t activate your device? So, here are some of the best options to consider:

1. Please Resend Your Activation Code

By going to My Crackle > Activation, you can resend the code to your device. Make sure to first log in to your account. An activation code should appear. Once you have it, depending on the device you are using, follow any of the steps above to activate Crackle.

2. Finish The Crackle Registration Process
