How to Watch Disney+ Content Offline or on Multiple Devices

 



Disney+ is a popular streaming service that offers a wide range of movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and more. If you are a Disney+ subscriber, you might want to know how to watch your favorite content offline or on multiple devices at the same time. In this blog post, we will explain how to do that and share some tips and tricks to make the most of your Disney+ experience.


How to Download and Watch Disney+ Content Offline on Your Smartphone or Tablet

One of the benefits of Disney+ is that you can download any title from its library and watch it offline on your smartphone or tablet. This is useful if you want to save data, watch something while traveling, or avoid buffering issues. Here are the steps to download and watch Disney+ content offline on your device:

  1. Open the Disney+ app on your smartphone or tablet and sign in with your account.
  2. Browse or search for the title you want to download and tap on it.
  3. On the title's detail page, tap on the download icon (a downward arrow) next to the play button. You can also tap on the plus icon (+) to add the title to your watchlist and download it later.
  4. Wait for the download to complete. You can check the progress by tapping on the downloads icon (a downward arrow with a circle) at the bottom of the screen.
  5. To watch your downloaded content offline, go to the downloads section of the app and tap on the title you want to watch. You can also access your downloads from your watchlist by tapping on the downloads filter (a downward arrow with a checkmark) at the top of the screen.
  6. Enjoy your offline viewing!

Some things to keep in mind when downloading and watching Disney+ content offline are:

  1. You can download up to 10 titles per device at a time.
  2. You can download titles on up to 10 devices per account at a time.
  3. You can choose between three download quality options: standard, medium, and high. The higher the quality, the more storage space and time it will take to download.
  4. You can manage your downloads by deleting them from your device or changing their quality settings. To do that, go to the downloads section of the app and tap on the edit icon (a pencil) at the top right corner of the screen. Then, select the titles you want to delete or change their quality and tap on the trash icon or the quality icon at the bottom of the screen.
  5. You can watch your downloaded content for as long as you remain a Disney+ subscriber. However, some titles may expire after a certain period of time due to licensing agreements. You will see a notification when a title is about to expire.


How to Set Up and Manage Your Disney+ Account and Profiles

Another benefit of Disney+ is that you can create up to seven profiles per account and customize them according to your preferences. This is useful if you want to share your account with your family or friends and have different recommendations, watchlists, parental controls, and languages for each profile.

  3. On your account page, you can view and edit your subscription details, billing information, email address, password, and communication preferences.
  4. To create a new profile, click on add profile at the bottom of your account page. You can choose an avatar from various Disney characters, enter a profile name, select a language, and enable or disable kids mode. Kids mode is a feature that limits the content available for that profile to titles rated TV-7FV or G.
  5. To edit or delete an existing profile, click on your profile icon at the top right corner of the screen and select edit profiles from the dropdown menu. Then, hover over the profile you want to edit or delete and click on the edit icon (a pencil) or the delete icon (a trash can) below it.
