How to install Disney Plus as an application on Windows 10

The newly launched Disney Plus streaming service offers thousands of great movies and shows. The service is available almost everywhere and offers apps specifically for iPhone, Android, Fire TV, Xbox One, and Roku. But (at the time of this writing), you won't find the Disney Plus app for Windows 10. You will only find the Xbox One app in the Microsoft Store.

Now, to be fair, you can watch Disney Plus through any browser on your Windows 10 machine. But you might not want to launch a full browser session or new tab, but rather a more app-like experience. Thanks to Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and Chromium-based browsers like the new Microsoft Edge, you can do that. Here is how to do it.

Install Disney Plus as an application (PWA) on Windows 10

The steps to create a PWA on every Chromium-based browser are almost the same, but here, the article will look at using Microsoft Edge and the new Google Chrome.

For Google Chrome

Launch Chrome and visit the Disney Plus website (http://go.gplink.io/disneyplus), then log in to your account. Then click the Menu button in the upper right corner of the Chrome toolbar. Then navigate to More tools> Create shortcut .

Next, enter a name for the shortcut and check the 'Open as window' box to make the window open as an app experience. Then click the Create button.

That will create a shortcut on the desktop and in the Start menu. You can even pin it to the taskbar for easier access.

For Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium)

Installing Disney Plus as a PWA using Edge is a simpler process. Note that for this to work, you will need to run a Chromium-based Edge version. At the time of this writing, this browser has a beta version, ready for anyone to install. For more, see TipsMake.com article on how to install Chromium Edge beta.

Launch the browser and go to the Disney Plus website and log in to your account. Click the Menu button in the upper right corner and click Apps> Install this site as an app .

Next, enter a name for the application shortcut and click the Install button. That will create a Disney Plus shortcut on the desktop and in the Start menu and you can pin it to the taskbar.

When installed as a PWA, Disney Plus is not a shortcut to the site. It opens in a separate dedicated window completely separate from the browser experience. You launch it like any regular application installed on the PC.

Remember that signing up for Disney Plus costs $ 6.99 (VND 161,000) / month or you can get Disney Plus packages including Hulu (with ads) and ESPN + for $ 12.99 (VND 299,000) / month.

Hope you are succesful.
