The most convenient, highest quality and most popular way to stream Disney+ is to watch Disney Plus on TV.
It is quite cumbersome for many to always use their smartphone or PC - just switch on Disney PLus on the TV and you're done. That's the goal of many Disney+ customers.
We show you the best way to watch Disney Plus on TV.
Disney Plus on TV – You need to know that
Disney+ is a pure Internet streaming provider and not a linear, real TV broadcaster such as ARD and ZDF.
In order to be able to use Disney Plus on the TV, a little more setup is usually required than just zapping to the channel.
Here you will find all the ways how to watch Disney Plus on TV - from very simple to complicated.
Disney+ on TV – Option 1 (Smart TV App):
The easiest and most convenient way to use Disney Plus on TV is simply to install or use the Disney+ Smart TV App. You need a reasonably modern Smart TV for this.
Disney Plus App on TV – Here's how
- On your smart TV, look for the Disney+ app in the menu under “Apps” (TV must be connected to the internet)
- If the Disney+ app is already pre-installed, simply start the app and enter the access data for your Disney+ account
- If the Disney+ app is not yet installed, download and install the app first (it should be relatively easy to do on the TV)
- If you can't find the Disney+ app at all, it's possible that your TV doesn't (yet) support Disney Plus. It's best to check your TV manufacturer's website.
