Disney+ has laid out how its password sharing crackdown – or what streamers calls “paid sharing” – will unspool and what subscribers can expect.
In a blog post today called Paid Sharing on Disney+: Here’s What You Need to Know, it said the “features and capabilities” are now available in the U.S., Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region after launching in select markets over the summer and that it expanded the program this week.
The streamer, as has Netflix with other platforms following, is cracking down on accounts accessed by individuals living outside of the primary Disney+ residence. They “will need to sign up and pay for their own subscription or be added as an Extra Member to the main account.
The price for that is an additional $6.99 a month for Disney+ basic and $9.99 a month for premium.
Only one extra member slow is available per account. There’s no Extra Member option available for Disney bundle subscribers or subscribers billed partners.
If someonesigns up for their own Disney+ subscription, their profile, watch history and settings can be transferred.
Account holders will still be able to watch Disney+ on supported devices. If account holders are on the go and you see the message “This TV doesn’t seem to be part of the Household for this account”“they can mark yourself as I’M AWAY FROM HOME, or select UPDATE HOUSEHOLD if you’ve recently moved and need to reset the Household location for your Disney+ subscription. These selections will require a one-time passcode that’s sent to the email address associated with the account.”
It advised subs to visit the Disney+ Help Center for more details.
