Sign out by going to your account settings
To sign out of Disney Plus on Roku, open the Disney Plus app, scroll to the profile icon in the top right corner, and select it. Then scroll down to find "Sign Out" or "Log Out" and select it. The app will return you to the login screen, and your account will no longer be active on that Roku device.
The exact wording and menu location can vary slightly depending on your Roku model and the version of the Disney Plus app you have installed, but the profile menu is always the starting point. If you cannot find a profile icon, try scrolling through the main menu options until you see "Account" or "Settings".
Key Takeaways
- Open Disney Plus, find the profile icon in the top right, and select "Sign Out" from the menu that appears.
- Signing out removes your account from that specific Roku device but does not cancel your Disney Plus subscription.
- If you cannot locate the sign-out option, restart the app or check that you are using the latest version available in the Roku Channel Store.
- Signing out is different from uninstalling the app; signing out keeps the app on your device but removes your login information.
What happens after you sign out
Once you sign out, anyone who picks up the Roku remote will see the Disney Plus login screen instead of your account. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile preferences remain stored on Disney Plus servers and will reappear if you sign back in with the same account on any device.
Signing out does not cancel your subscription or charge you anything. Your Disney Plus account continues to exist and renew on its normal billing cycle whether you are signed in on a device or not. If you want to stop paying for Disney Plus altogether, you must cancel the subscription through your Disney Plus account settings on a web browser or through the app on another device.
If the sign-out option does not appear
If you navigate to the profile menu and do not see a sign-out button, the app may need to be updated. Go to the Roku home screen, highlight the Disney Plus app, press the Options button on your remote, and select "Check for updates." If an update is available, install it and try again.
If updating does not help, try closing the app completely and reopening it. On most Roku devices, you can do this by pressing the Home button, highlighting Disney Plus, pressing Options, and selecting "Remove channel." Then go to the Roku Channel Store, search for Disney Plus, and reinstall it. You will need to sign in again, but this often fixes menu issues.
Signing out on a shared Roku device
If multiple people use the same Roku, signing out of Disney Plus is the standard way to switch accounts. After you sign out, the next person can sign in with their own Disney Plus login. Each account will have its own watch history and recommendations.
If you want to set up separate Roku profiles so that each person has their own apps and settings, you can do that through the Roku Settings menu on the home screen. However, this is optional — signing out of Disney Plus alone is enough to let someone else use their own account on the same device.
The difference between signing out and uninstalling
Signing out removes your login information but leaves the app on your Roku. Uninstalling removes the entire app from the device. If you sign out, the app stays there and takes up a small amount of storage; if you uninstall, you free up that space but will need to reinstall the app from the Channel Store if you want to use it again later.
For most people, signing out is the right choice if you are switching accounts or letting someone else use the device. Uninstall only if you do not plan to use Disney Plus on that Roku for a long time or if you are trying to troubleshoot a serious app problem.
Troubleshooting a stuck sign-out
Occasionally the sign-out process hangs or the app does not respond. If this happens, press the Home button on your Roku remote to exit the app, then wait 10 seconds before opening Disney Plus again. This usually clears the problem.
If the app still will not let you sign out, restart your entire Roku device. Unplug it from power for 30 seconds, plug it back in, and wait for it to fully load. Then open Disney Plus and try signing out again. A full device restart resolves most app freezing issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does signing out of Disney Plus cancel my subscription?
No. Signing out only removes your account from that Roku device. Your subscription continues and you will still be charged on your normal billing date. To cancel Disney Plus, you must go to your account settings on a web browser or another device and select the cancel option there.
Can I sign out of Disney Plus without signing out of other apps on my Roku?
Yes. Signing out of Disney Plus only affects the Disney Plus app. Your other apps, your Roku account, and any other logins remain active. Each app on Roku is independent.
What if I forget my Disney Plus password after signing out?
Go to the Disney Plus website on a computer or phone, select "Forgot Password," and follow the email instructions to reset it. Once you have a new password, you can sign back into the Roku app using your email and the new password.
Will my watch history come back if I sign back in?
Yes. Your watch history, saved shows, and all profile settings are tied to your Disney Plus account, not to the Roku device. When you sign back in with the same account on any device, everything will be there.
Can I sign out of Disney Plus on Roku from my phone or computer?
You can sign out of Disney Plus on all devices from your account settings on the Disney Plus website, but this will sign you out everywhere at once. If you only want to sign out on the Roku, you must do it directly on the Roku device using the steps above.
