How to get Disney+ on my Samsung Smart TV
Disney+ has something for everyone in the family. From classic Disney movies to Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic, and Star Wars there is plenty to choose from. If you want to enjoy Disney+, your Samsung Smart TV is the best place to see it all. Follow the guide below to download and enjoy the Disney+ app.
Check the following before you download the Disney+ app
The Disney+ app is compatible with most Samsung Smart TVs released since 2016. This app is available on Samsung TV models using Tizen OS but does not work on models running Orsay OS or built-in web browsers. However, TV models that do not support the Disney+ app can use other compatible devices, including game consoles.
Check 1. An active Disney+ subscription is required to stream content. Please refer to the Disney+ website (www.disneyplus.com) for information about how to sign up.
Check 2. Make sure that your Samsung Smart TV is connected to the internet.
- Select Home > Settings > Quick Settings.
Check 3. Always install the latest version of SW for TV.
- Select Home > Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now.
If your TV was built in 2016 or later, you can easily download the Disney+ app with just a few clicks. Follow the steps below to download the Disney+ app.
Step 1. Navigate to and select the Apps menu on your TV’s home screen.
Step 2. Use your remote to select the Search icon on the top right corner of the Apps screen.
Step 3. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter “Disney+”, then select the Done button.
Step 4. The app should now appear on the screen. Select the Install option to get Disney+ on your Samsung TV.
Step 5. Select Open to launch the app, then LOG IN and enter your username and password.
If you need to create a Disney+ account, select SIGN UP NOW and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If the Disney+ app doesn’t show up when you search for it, that’s a strong indication that your Smart TV is not compatible with the streaming platform or that Disney+ is not available in your region.
