In this article, we shall answer this question and give details on Disney+ Hotstar. Let’s dive into it.
Can a Disney+ Hotstar account be shared?
This hugely depends on the type of plan you have subscribed to from one account. The streaming platform has a set of rules and policies that they want its users to keep in mind. Depending on the type of plan you have, here is how the membership works:
I. If you have opted for ₹149/- mobile subscription:
- You can access only one device simultaneously (i.e., your mobile phone). If you log in on the new device, the previous device will get auto-logged out.
- You are charged every three months.
II. If you have opted for ₹499/- mobile subscription:
- You can access only one device simultaneously (i.e., your mobile phone). If you log in on the new device, the previous device will get auto-logged out.
- You are charged annually.
III. If you have opted for ₹899/- super subscription:
- You can access only two devices simultaneously (i.e., your mobile phone, the web browser on laptops/computers or most smart TVs). If you log in on a third device, one of the previously logged-in devices will be auto-logged out.
- You are charged annually.
IV. If you have opted for ₹1499/- premium subscription:
- You can access only four devices simultaneously (i.e., your mobile phone, the web browser on laptops/computers or most smart TVs). If you log in on a fifth device, one of the previously logged-in devices will be auto-logged out.

FAQs
I. How does the billing of the subscriptions work?
Membership in Disney+ Hotstar is a recurring subscription service. At the start of each payment cycle, membership fees are billed. Every one of the plans is yearly and non-refundable. A person with terminated monthly plans who still has valid subscriptions will continue to be invoiced on the same calendar month as their renewal date.
II. How to cancel my subscription?
- Go to My Account.
- Next, select Cancel Membership.
- By doing this, you can stop your membership from renewing but leave your account open until the end of the current payment cycle.
If the Cancel Membership option is not visible on your My Account page, your membership may already have been cancelled.
III. How can I upgrade my plan?
Users can switch between plans by paying the difference. To do this, go to My Account on your website or mobile application and select one of the available upgrade choices. Your current plan’s balance term will be changed. Also, you can only upgrade; the other way is impossible.
Conclusion
So, we can say that with one account, you can access devices depending on the kind of subscription you have opted for. For more information, visit the website’s helpdesk.
