Sign out by going to your account settings
To log out of Disney Plus on Roku, open the Disney Plus app, scroll to the top of the screen, and select your profile icon. From there, choose "Account" or "Settings," then look for a "Sign Out" or "Log Out" option. Select it, and the app will remove your login information from that Roku device.
The exact wording and menu location can shift slightly between Roku models and Disney Plus app versions, but the path is always: profile icon → account settings → sign out. Once you confirm, you will be returned to the Disney Plus login screen.
Key Takeaways
- Open Disney Plus, tap your profile icon at the top, and navigate to Account or Settings to find the sign-out option.
- Signing out removes your account from that specific Roku device but does not cancel your Disney Plus subscription.
- If you cannot find a sign-out button, restarting the app or checking for updates may reveal the option.
- You can also remove Disney Plus entirely by uninstalling the app from your Roku home screen, which automatically logs you out.
Why you might want to sign out
You may need to sign out if you are selling or giving away your Roku device, sharing it with someone who should have their own profile, or straightforward want to disconnect your account for privacy reasons. Signing out ensures that the next person to use that device cannot access your watch history, saved shows, or payment information.
Signing out is different from canceling your subscription. Your Disney Plus account remains active and paid for; you are only removing access from that particular Roku device. You can still watch Disney Plus on other devices, phones, or computers where you remain logged in.
What to do if the sign-out option does not appear
If you navigate to your account settings and do not see a sign-out button, try closing the Disney Plus app completely and reopening it. On Roku, you can do this by pressing the Home button, highlighting Disney Plus, pressing Options (the button with three dots), and selecting "Remove channel." This uninstalls the app and automatically logs you out.
Alternatively, check whether your Disney Plus app needs an update. Outdated versions sometimes hide or misplace menu options. Go to your Roku home screen, select "Manage add-ons," find Disney Plus, and see if an update is available. After updating, the sign-out option should appear in the expected location.
Signing out versus removing the app
Signing out keeps the Disney Plus app on your Roku but removes your account login. The app remains installed and ready to use if someone else logs in or if you log back in later. This is the cleaner option if you plan to use the device yourself again or if you want to hand it to someone who will set up their own Disney Plus account.
Removing the app entirely uninstalls Disney Plus from your Roku and automatically signs you out. This takes up less storage space on the device and is the better choice if you are selling the Roku, giving it away, or no longer plan to use Disney Plus on it. You can always reinstall the app from the Roku Channel Store later if you change your mind.
Logging out on a shared Roku device
If multiple people use the same Roku, each person should have their own Roku profile rather than sharing a single login. This way, each profile can have its own Disney Plus account, watch history, and recommendations. To set up a new profile on Roku, go to Settings, select "Users and accounts," and choose "Add user."
Once each person has their own Roku profile, they can log into Disney Plus under their own account. When they switch profiles on the Roku, the Disney Plus app will show their own account and watch history. This prevents accidental sharing of payment information and keeps recommendations separate.
What happens after you sign out
After you sign out, the Disney Plus app returns to the login screen. Anyone who picks up the Roku will see this screen and will need a valid Disney Plus username and password to proceed. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings are stored on Disney Plus servers, not on the Roku device, so they remain safe and will reappear if you log back in from any device.
Your Disney Plus subscription continues to run and will be billed to your payment method on its regular schedule. Signing out does not pause or cancel your subscription. If you want to stop paying, you will need to cancel your subscription through the Disney Plus website or app on another device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does signing out of Disney Plus on Roku cancel my subscription?

Can I sign out of Disney Plus on Roku without losing my watch history?
Yes. Your watch history is stored on Disney Plus servers, not on the Roku. When you sign back in from any device using the same account, your history, saved shows, and recommendations will be there.

Visit the Disney Plus website on a computer or phone, select "Forgot password," and follow the reset instructions sent to your email. Once you have reset your password, you can use the new one to log in on your Roku.
If I remove the Disney Plus app from Roku, will it affect my account on other devices?
