3. How to Screen Record Disney+ on iPhone/Android

Through our testing, we have discovered a tool that is suitable for both PC and mobile devices (including iOs, Android, Win, and Mac), which is to record Disney+ with PlayOn.

Disney+ is a new recording feature supported by PlayOn Cloud in 2019. Indeed, PlayOn can easily enable you to acquire most Disney video content access through simple recording steps. However, there are some important considerations to emphasize:

!

Not all videos on Disney+ can be recorded through PlayOn. Disney is constantly updating its protection technology, causing potential recording failures for certain newly released videos. Additionally, the recorded content may have issues with audio-video synchronization and delays. The entire recording process is time-consuming, with the required time roughly matching the length of the video.

Operation Steps 

Step1
Acquire PlayOn from Google Play, Apple Store, or the official website. Download it onto your device. Create your PlayOn account.

Step2
Select the "Disney+" channel and log into your Disney+ account. Search for the video you wish to record.

Step3
Click on "Record" or "Record All" to capture the entire Disney program series.
Step4
After the recording process is completed, you can locate them in the "Recordings" tab and watch them offline on Disney+ at your convenience.

From the launch of PlayOn Disney+ screen recording in 2019 to 2025, numerous PlayOn problems and errors have been reported. Although PlayOn offers a convenient mobile solution for recording Disney Plus movies, its stability is rather mediocre. We can utilize more stable PC software to record Disney+ videos and subsequently transfer them to mobile devices.

4. Additional Tips: Download Disney+ Videos instead of Recording

In the previous paragraph, we mentioned the quality and time-consuming issues of the recording feature on Disney+, as well as the frequent crashes. If you only wish to capture a few minutes or seconds of video for sharing or editing, screen recording is a decent option.

However, if you desire to obtain the complete series of Disney+ videos rather than just short clips, a Disney+ downloader may be a more efficient choice.

Tool Required: StreamFab Disney+ Downloader

Screen Record Disney+ vs. StreamFab Disney+

StreamFab Disney Plus downloader and screen recorder have different needs to suit diverse demands. Here's a quick comparison sheet between the two.

  StreamFab Disney+ Downloader Disney+ Recorder

On the contrary, users who prefer quality outputs with preferred audio tracks, subtitle languages, and customization in output parameters with metadata information seek downloading to replace Disney+ recording.
