Profile, screen, and device: three different things

The number of profiles does not correspond to the number of videos that can be watched at the same time. A profile is primarily used to separate each user's recommendations, history, content list, and settings.

The current limits displayed by Disney+ also distinguish between devices for downloading and simultaneous streams.

Element|Function|Key Takeaway
Profile | Customize Your Experience | It does not create a separate subscription
Simultaneous Playback | Watch Multiple Videos at the Same Time | The limit depends on the plan
Connected Device | Sign In | This does not guarantee additional reading
Downloading Device | Save Content for Offline Use | Available Depending on Your Plan
Additional Member | Create a Separate Account | Option for Someone Outside the Household

Disney+ now specifies up to seven profiles per subscription in its documentation on profile management. The ten devices listed in the Standard and Premium plans are now the devices authorized for downloads.

How many screens can you use at the same time?

The three plans do not allow the same number of simultaneous streams.

Offer|Highest Quality|Simultaneous Streams|Downloads
Standard with ads|Full HD 1080p|2|No
Standard|Full HD 1080p|2|Up to 10 devices
Premium|4K Ultra HD|4|Up to 10 devices

Simultaneous playback means that two videos can be played at the same time. This does not mean that the account can be used freely from two different locations.

The Premium plan allows four simultaneous streams, but the household limit is separate from the number of screens. 4K quality also depends on the program, the device, and the connection quality.

How does the Disney+ Home feature work?

Disney+ now links the primary account to a household. This refers to the devices connected to the primary residence and used by the people who live there.

To determine which devices belong to the household, the service may take into account, among other things, the Internet connection, account activity, and how often the devices are used.

The rules distinguish between two situations:

Household members can use the profiles on the main account
A person who does not live in the household must have their own subscription or use the Additional Member option

A message may appear on a TV that isn't recognized as belonging to the household. Disney+ may then ask you to verify your account or offer an alternative way to access the service.

How do I share Disney+ with an additional member?

The "Additional Member" feature allows you to add someone who lives outside your household without sharing the main account's login credentials with them.

This person has:

on its own Disney+ channel
from their own email address
his own password
a personal profile
access to one screen at a time

The option should appear in the account at Owner. Its availability may depend on the plan, the country, and how the subscription is billed. An account managed by a carrier or partner may work differently.

How do I promote my Disney+ subscription on Spliiit ?

Before posting a listing, make sure the “Additional Member” option appears in your Disney+ account. Do not create a listing assuming it will become available after a co-subscriber joins.

To offer your subscription:

Log in to Spliiit
Open your profile
Select " Suggest a subscription"
Choose Disney+
Select the plan that matches your subscription
Please indicate the number of seats that are actually available
Post Your Job Listing

When a co-subscriber joins the sharing plan, use the email address provided at Spliiit to send the Disney+ invitation.

The help center at Spliiit provides detailed instructions on how to create a share.

How do I access Disney+ on Spliiit ?

If you're looking for a Disney+ subscription, start by checking out the plans available at Spliiit.

The course is structured as follows:

Search for Disney+ on the marketplace
Choose an available offer
Submit your request
Wait for approval of the Owner
Please provide the desired email address
Open the Disney+ invitation
Create your own login credentials

With an additional Member, you will not receive the password for Owner. Your access remains tied to their subscription, but your account and login credentials are personal.

Can you transfer an old Disney+ account?

Disney+ may offer the option to transfer a profile to a new additional member account. This feature allows you to keep certain items, including:

viewing history
the recommendations
preferences
the table of contents
profile settings

The primary profile, a child profile, or a Junior mode profile cannot be transferred.

The original account ho Owner r receives a verification request via email. He or she then has a limited amount of time to approve it. If the request expires, the process must be repeated.

Why is it important to protect your MyDisney login credentials?

The email address and password used on Disney+ can also be used as your MyDisney login credentials for other services offered by the company.

A change made on Disney+ can therefore affect other services linked to the same account. It’s best to use the “Additional Member” option when it’s available, since this method doesn’t require sharing the main password.

If you believe your account has been used without your permission:

Change your password
Check the connected devices
Disconnect unknown devices
Verify the account's email address
Contact support if necessary

What should you do if Disney+ screen sharing isn't working?

Problem|Possible Cause|Solution
"Additional Member Absent" Option | Incompatible account or billing method | Check the plan and contact the partner billing for the subscription
Invitation not received | Incorrect address or message filtered | Check the address and your spam folder
Out-of-Home TV | Unrecognized Device | Follow the verification steps shown on the screen
Too many videos playing | Playback limit reached | Stop playback on another device
Profile not found | Profile deleted or incorrect account used | Check the account and the list of profiles
Transfer not possible | Main profile, child, or junior | Create a new profile
Login Failed | Incorrect or Changed Credentials | Reset MyDisney Password
Access suspended | Primary subscription canceled | Contact Owner from Spliiit
