How many people can watch Disney+ at the same time?
The number of simultaneous streams on Disney+ depends on your subscription tier. Premium (No Ads) subscribers can stream on up to four devices at the same time, while Standard plans — both with and without ads — support two concurrent streams.
Disney+ requires all users on an account to belong to the same household, meaning password sharing outside your home is not permitted. However, subscribers can add a paid Extra Member, who receives their own login and can stream on one device at a time, allowing limited sharing beyond your household.
Can I download Disney+ movies and shows for offline viewing?
Yes — Disney+ allows subscribers to download movies and TV shows for offline viewing on supported mobile and tablet devices. You can store an unlimited number of titles, as long as your device has enough storage space and your subscription remains active.
Downloads stay accessible even when you’re offline but may expire if your subscription ends or you don’t reconnect to the internet for an extended period. This feature is available for Premium (No Ads) plans.
Does Disney+ have parental controls?
Yes. Disney+ includes robust parental controls. You can:
- Create Kids Profiles with age-appropriate ratings.
- Set PIN locks for adult profiles.
- Filter content by maturity level (G, PG, PG-13, R, etc.).
These controls are managed under Account → Profile Settings → Parental Controls.
Can I share my Disney+ account with others?
Disney+ accounts can only be shared within a single household. A Household refers to the group of devices connected to your primary home and used by people living in the same residence. Sharing your Disney+ login outside of this household is not permitted.
What languages does Disney+ support?
Disney+ supports multiple audio and subtitle languages, depending on the title and region. Common options include English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi. You can change the language in the player settings.
Is Disney+ available in 4K?
Yes. The Premium (No Ads) plan streams in 4K UHD and supports HDR10, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos on compatible devices and content. To stream in 4K, a minimum internet speed of 25 Mbps is recommended.
Does Disney+ offer live content?
Yes. Disney+ includes live content in select regions, especially under the Hulu on Disney+ integration. Live events such as the Oscars, sports, and specials may also be streamed via partner networks.
What is “Hulu on Disney+”?
