How To Watch Disney Plus On TV
You have a number of options to enjoy Disney Plus from your television set, as Disney’s new streaming platform is compatible with many devices. The app works with popular streaming sticks such as Fire TV, Roku or Chromecast, boxes, and gaming consoles.
You can also use Google Chromecast to stream content from your iOS 16 device or Android mobile device to a TV. If you don’t have a streaming device connected to your TV, you can cast Disney Plus from your phone, tablet or computer using an HDMI cable.

Why Won’t Disney Plus Cast To TV?
Hardware Acceleration
If you’re trying to cast Disney Plus to TV from Chrome and it doesn’t work, check your browser’s hardware acceleration setting.
What does hardware acceleration do
With hardware acceleration on, Chrome will be able to use your computer’s GPU (graphics processing unit) to tackle processing-heavy tasks. Hardware acceleration is on by default on Google Chrome.
IMPORTANT: you need to TURN OFF hardware acceleration for screen mirroring to work!
How to turn off hardware acceleration
Here’s how to turn hardware acceleration off Google Chrome:
- Open your Google Chrome browser.
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
- Click ‘Settings’.
- Go to ‘System’ in the bottom-left corner.
- Tick off ‘Use hardware acceleration when available’.
- Relaunch Google Chrome.
