Is it possible to download the Disney Plus on your Fire TV device
Many people have heard about the competition between the two giants Amazon and Disney. So that’s not strange, that many users were unsure whether Disney Plus would be available on Amazon devices.
Especially if we take into account the latest dispute over ad sales.
There were even fears that Disney Plus wouldn’t be released to the Amazon Appstore. However, the companies reached an agreement before the release of the service, and Disney Plus is now available on Amazon devices, including the Fire TV.
That means you can install the official Disney Plus app in the Apps and Games section of your Fire TV device, or you can do it through the website. Here’s what to do.
How to Install Disney Plus on the Fire TV device
The installation process of Disney Plus isn’t much different from installing other apps on the Fire TV.
