Disney+ entered the market in 2019 and immediately made a strong claim for the leading position among the on-demand video streaming services. Apart from ensuring excellent footage quality and a vast content selection, the platform secured support for many popular streaming devices.
This article offers an overview of supported devices to use to watch Disney+. Here’s the list and our expert opinion on the Disney+ device ecosystem!
What is Disney+?
Each time home media changed from VHS tapes to DVDs and then to Blu-rays, Disney made you pay all over again to get its popular content. Things have changed in the streaming age. With the launch of the VOD platform Disney+, you now have access to almost the entire Disney Vault – every animated film, live-action movie and TV show Disney has ever made. In addition, you get family-friendly movies from Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and other Disney-owned media properties. Read our detailed Disney+ overview and why it’s the happiest streaming service on the planet.
The estimation is that Disney+ has over 150 million users worldwide. It’s a good deal because great content is available at a low cost, and there’s only one subscription tier, which simplifies things. There’s an option to grab a Disney+ Bundle, which includes Hulu and ESPN+, for only several dollars more. The bundle is an excellent option to combine with live TV streaming services.
