If the Disney Plus is not listed on your current smart TV’s app store, then another option you can use is Chromecast.
Often, you’ll find this feature built into many smart tv’s. However, this method requires you to have Disney Plus on your phone. Once you’ve added Disney Plus to your phone, follow these steps:
- From your mobile phone, select the cast icon positioned on the top right corner of your Disney Plus application. If you can cast the Disney Plus from your phone to the TV, this feature will be listed among the casting options.
- If this is a possibility, the next thing you’ll do is to choose your TV from the available devices that get displayed on your phone. Doing this will automatically allow the Disney Plus app to connect to your television.
In addition to being a user-friendly process, another thing we like about this approach is that it lets you choose what you want to watch on the TV from your phone’s app.
