Disney+ automatically detects your system’s capabilities and Internet connection speed and will attempt to deliver the highest quality experience possible.
We also like to give you choice - Disney+ offers several options to help manage data usage on all your devices. Modifying data usage settings has an effect on the video quality, with lower data usage delivering to slightly lower visual quality. Keep in mind that data usage settings are applied to each device separately, but will be applied to all profiles using that device.
Below you will find details on the options for adjusting your data usage settings on different devices.
