FAQ

Can I Watch Disney Plus on Android TV?

Yes, Disney Plus is available on Android TV - which covers media streaming devices and smart TVs. However, considering that Android TV is found on a really wide range of different devices, there are no guarantees regarding how the app will perform on each of those devices.

Can I Install Disney Plus on Android Box?

If you have a certified Android box (such as Nvidia's Shield TV and Xiaomi's Mi Box), you can install Disney Plus. Other Android boxes (that come from lesser-known brands) might support Disney Plus as well, but there are no guarantees.

How Do I Connect Disney Plus to My Android TV?

Can I Mirror Disney Plus to My Android TV?

Yes, you should be able to mirror Disney Plus from your smartphone. If your Android TV supports casting (via Chromecast, for example), you should be able to cast your content from any other device (such as your smartphone or tablet). Start playing any title, and you'll see an icon to cast the currently streaming video to your TV.
