How Do I Change the Streaming Quality On Disney+?
-
Click "App Settings" on your laptop or streaming device. It should be located beneath your profile, in the form of a dropdown menu in the righthand corner of your computer, or as a sidebar on the left-hand side of the Disney+ app on a streaming device.
-
Choose between Automatic, Moderate, and Save Data. These streaming quality options are the only settings listed under "App Settings." [1] X Research source Your Disney+ account will default to the Automatic setting, which gives you the highest streaming quality available, but feel free to lower your quality as needed.
- The Moderate streaming quality can still stream in HD, but stops short of the 4K UHD quality offered by Automatic. Lowering your stream quality to Moderate will save you data, however.
- The Save Data option uses the least amount of data, but can only stream in standard definition.
