Can you Chromecast Disney Plus?

Disney Plus adds yet another streaming option to the existing plethora! As Disney held off from making its content available on other services, Plus is a welcome addition. If you don’t have a smart TV, you might want to know can you Chromecast Disney Plus? Thankfully, yes!

 

Ask anyone what defined their childhood, and they’ll quickly mention a Disney film. The studio is behind family favourites such as Cars, Toy Story, and Sister Act. Disney is also the home of Pirates of the Caribbean, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Jungle Book.

 

There are two ways you can use your Chromecast to watch content from Disney Plus. You could use the Disney Plus app on your phone or the web player through the Chrome web browser on your computer. Let’s explore: Can you Chromecast Disney Plus?

 

 

Can you Chromecast Disney Plus?

Yes, Disney Plus works with Chromecast. So, you can connect a Chromecast device to your television and then stream TV shows and movies from your phone or web browser.

 

 

What you need to get started

Before you can use your Chromecast to watch all of your favourite Disney movies, there are a few things you need. You’ll need to subscribe to Disney Plus. We recommend paying for a year as it’s cheaper than the monthly package.

 

You need a TV with a Chromecast installed (either the standard version or Chromecast with Google TV). Connect your Chromecast to your TV and the same network as your phone or computer.

 

Next, open the Disney Plus app on your phone, tap the Chromecast icon, and select the Chromecast you want. If you’re using a PC, open Disney Plus in the Chrome Browser, then open the browser menu, select Cast, and choose your Chromecast.
