you can view the Disney Plus app on your iPhone or iPad or look in the browser on your Mac. There is also a Disney Plus app for Android. But it is better to watch the content on the larger screen of your television. There are several ways to do this. So end your free Disney Plus trial and curl up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn!
Watch Disney Plus on Apple TV
Chances are that you as an Apple user have an Apple TV at home. Is that indeed the case? Then you can directly download the Disney Plus app in the App Store and view it directly via the TV to which the Apple TV is connected. You do need a newer Apple TV here: the slightly higher model with access to the App Store. The old Apple TV with fixed channels does not support it.

Stream via AirPlay
If you have an Apple TV, you can also stream the image from, for example, your iPhone to the TV via AirPlay – you do not necessarily have to download the app. AirPlay has recently also been supported by a large number of newer smart TVs, so you don’t even need an Apple TV anymore. Recently bought a new TV? See if it works with AirPlay. After that it is a matter of going through the following steps:
- Open Disney Plus on your iPhone or iPad and choose something fun to watch.
- Tap the AirPlay icon at the top of the screen (the triangle with the rings).
- Choose the device you want to watch.
- The images will now appear on your television.
Via a (built-in) Chromecast
The Chromecast is becoming increasingly popular and there are also more and more smart TVs with a built-in Chromecast. If you have a Chromecast, it works as follows:
- Open Disney Plus on your iPhone or iPad and find a movie.
- Tap the AirPlay icon at the top of the screen (the square with the curves).
- Choose the device you want to watch.
- The images will now appear on your television.

Via a game console
Are you a gamer? Disney Plus is also available for download for various game consoles. At this moment you can watch Disney Plus via PlayStation 4: download the app from the corresponding Stores. Disney also promises support for Xbox One, but at the moment the app is not yet directly findable.
Via a cable
You can also connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your television via cable. HDMI is then the magic word. Apple has the Lightning to Digital AV adapter (€ 55) for this, which is suitable for the transmission of image and sound. You also need a separate HDMI cable with that, chances are you still have one. You can also connect your Mac to your television via HDMI. Keep in mind that for the newer Macs you also need an adapter, such as the USB-C to Digital AV Multiport Adapter ($79).
