Watching the spectrum of superb movies and spellbinding videos on Disney Plus has become an all-important means of entertainment but it might hit a stumbling block when you witness the “why is Disney Plus narrating everything” message as soon as you try playing any of them. This unique guide has in store some quick easy ways to take care of this narration-related issue on Disney+.

Turning off the narrator feature on Android is tad easy

The “Why is Disney Plus narrating my movie” issue can be easily addressed by making use of Disney Plus’s app-driven feature that is shared below.

Step 1 - Initially launch the unique incredible Disney+ app on Android devices.

Step 2 - Moving on, just begin playing content as per your wish.

Step 3 - While the video is being played, tap on the screen to cause the Playback Transport Controls feature to come to the forefront.

Step 4 - At this juncture it is worth saying that now you have to go to the “More Settings” option shown on the top-right corner.

Step 5 - Make sure you see several options under the two main segments. Just choose the “English” option shown underneath the “Audio” caption followed by clicking the “Off” feature provided in the “Subtitles” section.

A slightly different way and you can disable the narration on Roku as well

Step 1 - Using this option also entails opening Disney+ followed by initiating a desired video to play.

Step 2 - Then resume fixing the “why is Disney+ narrating the movie” issue by pressing the “*” button on the remote control of Roku.

Step 3 - Don’t forget to navigate the “Audio Track” segment further as from there you can get a confirmation whether the Disney+ narrator feature is enabled. In this context, it is worth mentioning that in case you see the “*English” feature selected it would be safe to assume that the Disney+ narrator feature is activated.

Step 4 - Now toggle the arrow buttons on the “Audio Track” panel and choose to select the option that displays “English” sans asterisk mark.

Roku Audio Settings panel prescribes an all-different option to disable narration on Disney+

Here comes a slightly different procedure to cause the “Why is there a narrator on Disney Plus” issue to settle.

Step 1 - Primarily press the “Home” button to access the Home screen on Roku.

Step 2 - Resume fixing the “why is Disney Plus narrating my movie” issue with a gentle press of the “Arrow” keys so as to open the “Settings” panel going forward.

Step 3 - As you now happen to be on the “Settings” pane, choose the “Audio” option followed by ensuring that “S/PDIF” and “ARC” features are aligned back to back to “Stereo”.

Disable Volume Mode and you might have the solution

Despite attempting the above quick methods, if the “Why is Disney Plus narrating everything” issue persists then you can resort to trying the following as well.

Step 1 - Launch the Disney Plus and let a movie play.

Step 2 - Next, be sure that you have pressed the “*” button on the Roku remote control.
