When should you watch Despicable Me 4 on Peacock?

Viewers in the USA can already start watching the family comedy 6 a.m. ET/3 p.m. PT To Thursday, Oct. 31. Peacock also carries the first two Despicable Me films.

Peacock increased prices over the summer, starting at $8 per month or $80 per year. That’s true for the ad-supported Peacock Premium, but you can also opt for Premium Plus for $14 per month or $140 per year to see fewer ads, download titles, and stream your local NBC live station.

Want to watch the latest Despicable Me movie without Peacock? It can be rented below Amazon or Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) for $6.

If you’re looking for a discount, you might consider paying for a year of Peacock upfront, which costs less than paying monthly over the same period. If you are a student you may be eligible for 12 months of discounted premium.

Here’s how to watch Despicable Me 4 from anywhere with a VPN

Maybe you’re traveling abroad and want to stream Peacock on the go. With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the movie from anywhere in the world. There are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming.

A VPN is the best way to encrypt your traffic to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds. Using a VPN is also a good idea if you’re traveling and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins when connecting to Wi-Fi networks. Streaming TV can go a little smoother with a reliable, high-quality VPN that has passed our tests and meets our security standards.

You can use a VPN to legally stream content as long as VPNs are allowed in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you use. The USA and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal. However, we advise against streaming or downloading content from illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you can also choose another provider from our best list, such as Surfshark or NordVPN.

Follow the VPN provider’s installation instructions and select a country where Despicable Me 4 streams on Peacock. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you are connected to your VPN via your selected region. If you want to stream Despicable Me on more than one device, you may need to configure each one to make sure you’re logged in. Go to Settings and check your network connections to make sure you are logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you can open Peacock to stream.

If you’re having trouble streaming, first make sure your VPN is operational on its encrypted IP address. Double-check that you followed the installation instructions correctly and selected the correct geographic area for viewing. If you continue to experience connection issues, you may need to restart your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and first connect to your VPN. Note that some streaming services restrict VPN access.
