You add Disney Plus to Roku the same way you would any other channel – through the Streaming Channels store, found on the home screen. Open it, search for “Disney”, select the channel from the results and install.
There are some things to note. Once you open the app, you will be prompted to sign in (if you are already a subscriber) or sign up (if not). If you’re allowed to sign up directly through the app instead of the web, your subscription will be billed and managed through Roku (more on that in a moment).
Most Roku TVs and add-on devices are compatible, but you’ll need more advanced ones to take advantage of standards like 4K resolution, HDR, and/or Dolby Atmos surround sound. You can see a full list of compatible hardware in our guide here.
