How to Watch Disney Plus on an Apple TV

Yes, Disney Plus is supported on Apple TV. However, you’ll need to keep in mind that your Apple TV device needs to be a fourth-generation model or newer. If it is, your Apple TV should be good to go – once you set things up, of course. Here’s how to do that.

If you still haven’t subscribed to Disney Plus, you can do it via the Apple App Store. You’ll enter your payment details via your iTunes account. The on-screen prompts will guide you through the process.

Here’s how to get Disney Plus on Apple TV.

1. On Apple TV’s home screen, go to the App Store. The App Store is only available on fourth-generation Apple TV devices, which is why you need to have a fourth-generation Apple TV model in order to use Disney Plus.
2. In the App Store’s search box, type in “Disney plus.”
3. Select Get to download and install the app.
4. Once the app is downloaded and installed, go to the Disney Plus icon, and select it.
5. Enter your Disney Plus credentials where prompted.

That’s it. You’ve successfully set up Disney Plus on your Apple TV device.

How to Watch Disney Plus with Friends

Although you used to require a third-party extension to watch Disney Plus with your friends, the service recently rolled out a brand-new way to stream your favorite shows and movies with your friends from across the web.

GroupWatch is Disney’s brand-new method for streaming with friends, and it’s built right into the Disney Plus app. Although it works on computers, phones, tablets, and smart TVs, you’ll need to use your browser or the app on your phone to start a GroupWatch stream. Once you’ve created a lobby, you can invite up to six friends to watch with you, and you can even switch from your phone to your television to stream on the big screen.

1. Head to disneyplus.com and sign in, or sign in on the app on your phone.
2. Select the piece of content that you want to enjoy with your friends.
3. Look for the GroupWatch icon to the right of the Play button and click it to start a lobby.
4. Click the plus icon to receive a code to invite friends to your stream.
5. If you’d rather watch on a television, head into the app on your streaming device of choice and find the same title, then select the GroupWatch icon. Once you’ve created a lobby, you can join on other devices.
6. When your lobby is full, click Start Stream to begin watching.

Remember that everyone who wants to join in on the watch party needs to have a Disney Plus account.

How to Watch Disney Plus on a Smart TV

Disney Plus is available across various devices in the form of an app. You can find it on gaming consoles, streaming boxes, and even cast it to your television via the Disney Plus app on your phone or tablet. However, you might want to simply stream Disney Plus content directly from your smart TV.

Generally, viewing the app works the same on all Android TV devices. You go to the app store, download the app, run it, sign in, and stream it.

If your smart TV isn’t Android-based, you should refer to your instruction manual for installation directions. If this doesn’t help, try searching for the solution using Google. Type in your TV model and add “Disney plus” to the search query. Most likely, there’s a solution for your TV.

If you can’t find anything online, consider contacting the manufacturer.

Additional FAQs

1. How many devices can use Disney Plus at the same time?

Every individual Disney Plus account allows streaming on up to four devices simultaneously. You can create seven profiles for different users, but only four devices will be able to stream at the same time. Unlike other streaming services, you don’t have various subscription options since there is only one account type. You can choose to make payments annually or monthly. If you want to stream Disney Plus on more than four devices simultaneously, you’ll need to sign up for an additional account.

2. Can Disney Plus be canceled at any time?

Yes. Like other major streaming services, you’ll be billed automatically at the start of a month. You can cancel your subscription after the payment is made, and you’ll be able to access the Disney Plus content until the end of that month. You can also renew your subscription to Disney Plus later if you wish.

Each account gets a seven-day trial period at the beginning of their subscription. You’ll be prompted to enter your payment information, but won’t be charged until the seven-day trial period ends. Once it ends, you’ll automatically be charged for your first month of Disney Plus. You can cancel at any time.

3. Why is Shrek not available on Disney Plus?

You might be surprised to discover that Shrek wasn’t produced by Disney. The entire franchise is DreamWorks-owned. Because it’s a competitor of Disney, DreamWorks content isn’t likely to be featured on Disney Plus any time soon. But, because media deals are frequently being made, Shrek may appear on Disney Plus at some point.

4. What does Disney Plus include?

As a Disney streaming service, Disney Plus includes content created and owned by The Walt Disney Company. This includes Walt Disney Studios, Marvel Studios, Twentieth Century Fox, National Geographic, Lucasfilm, and many others. So, there’s quite a bit of content to look forward to with Disney Plus.
