Disney + Hotstar tips and tricks to enhance the streaming experience.
The blockade of COVID-19 in India has been extended until May 3. People are required to stay home to contain the spread of the coronavirus and stay healthy, motivated, and entertained. Hotstar or, let’s say, Disney + Hotstar can take care of the latest with its extensive set of TV shows, movies, and channels, as well as keep you informed with its news coverage.
We’ve previously shared tips for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video to help you make the most of these services. This time, we have listed five tips and tricks for Disney + Hotstar that will enhance your streaming experience.
Download a movie or episode
Since everyone is at home and the Internet can be extremely irregular, it is best to download their programs. To download a movie or episode, touch the title you want to save to watch it offline. Touch the “Download” icon below the program / movie description. Now choose a download quality from the three options given High, Medium and Low. The application also tells you how much data it will cost you to save the program.
