How many devices does Hotstar support?

Hotstar's Premium Plan allows subscribers to log in to their account on a maximum of 10 devices and enjoy a maximum of 3 concurrent streams at any given time.

Understanding Hotstar Device Support

When considering how many devices Hotstar supports, it's important to distinguish between the total number of devices you can be logged into and the number of devices you can simultaneously watch content on.

Maximum Device Logins

For Disney+ Hotstar Premium Plan subscribers, your account can be linked to and logged into on up to 10 different devices. This means you can have the Hotstar app installed and your account signed in across various gadgets you own, such as:

• Smartphones
• Tablets
• Smart TVs
• Streaming devices (e.g., Apple TV, Android TV)
• Web browsers on computers

This high login limit offers convenience, allowing you to access your Hotstar account from almost any device you pick up, without constantly needing to log in and out.

Concurrent Streams

While you can be logged into Hotstar on up to 10 devices, the actual number of devices that can play content simultaneously is limited. Hotstar's Premium Plan allows for a maximum of 3 concurrent streams.

This means:

• You and two other individuals (or you on three different devices) can watch different shows or movies at the same time.
• If a fourth device attempts to start streaming content, a "concurrent device error" will appear on that device.
• To resolve this error and begin watching on the fourth device, you would need to log out of one of the actively streaming devices.

Practical Examples of Concurrent Streams

• Scenario 1: You are watching a movie on your Smart TV, your spouse is watching a series on a tablet, and your child is watching cartoons on a smartphone. This uses 3 concurrent streams.
• Scenario 2: If a fourth family member tries to watch on their laptop, they will encounter an error because the 3-stream limit has been reached. One of the other three active streams must be stopped before the laptop can begin streaming.
