The disneyplus.com/begin page is Disney+‘s official device activation portal. Instead of typing your email and password using a TV remote, you simply grab your phone or computer, visit the activation URL, and enter a short code displayed on your TV screen. The two devices sync up instantly, and you’re ready to stream — no awkward on-screen keyboard required.

Activating Disney+ on Your Device

1

Open Disney+ on Your TV or Device

Launch the Disney+ app on your smart TV, streaming device (Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, etc.), or game console (PS5, Xbox). If you haven’t installed the app yet, download it from your device’s app store first.
2

Select Log In to Get Your Activation Code

On the Disney+ home screen, select Log In. The app will display a short alphanumeric activation code on your TV screen. Keep this screen open while you complete the next steps.
3

Go to disneyplus.com/begin on Your Phone or Computer

On your phone, tablet, or computer, open any web browser and navigate to disneyplus.com/begin. This is the official Disney+ activation page where you’ll link your device to your account.
4

Sign In to Your Disney+ Account

If you’re not already signed in, you’ll be prompted to enter your Disney+ email address and password. Make sure you sign in with the account you want to use on your TV.
5

Enter the Code Shown on Your TV

Type the activation code displayed on your TV screen into the field on the disneyplus.com/begin page, then click Continue. Double-check the code carefully before submitting — codes are case-sensitive.
6

You're Logged In!

Your TV app will automatically detect the activation and refresh. Within a few seconds, you’ll be signed in and taken to the Disney+ home screen on your TV, ready to start watching.
Codes expire after a few minutes. If yours expires, just restart the Disney+ app to get a new one.

Supported Devices

You can use disneyplus.com/begin to activate Disney+ on a wide range of devices:

Smart TVs

Samsung, LG, Vizio, and Sony smart TVs all support the activation code flow through the Disney+ app.

Streaming Sticks & Boxes

Roku, Amazon Fire TV (Fire Stick), and Chromecast with Google TV are all fully supported.

Game Consoles

Activate Disney+ on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S using the same steps above.

Apple TV

Apple TV (4th generation and later) supports the activation code method via the Disney+ app on tvOS.
If the code isn’t working, make sure you’re signed in to the correct Disney+ account on the browser page. Activating with a different account than the one you intend to use is the most common cause of issues.

​
Frequently Asked Questions

Some older versions of the Disney+ app may display a QR code instead of an alphanumeric activation code. Simply open your phone’s camera app, point it at the QR code on your TV screen, and tap the notification that appears. Your phone will take you directly to the activation page to complete sign-in.
The activation code method at disneyplus.com/begin requires a second device (phone, tablet, or computer). However, if you don’t have one handy, you can log in directly on your TV by selecting the manual sign-in option and entering your Disney+ email address and password using the on-screen keyboard on your TV remote.
