What is Error 83 on Disney+?

There are probably two scenarios in which you will see this Error 83. The first one is basically related to your internet connection or the Disney+ servers are pretty loaded to let you enjoy your content. And the other scenario is that it can be due to a device compatibility issue. You might have signed up on a device that as of yet, does not support the stream on Disney+.

Here are few reported users in the Reddit community regarding the same.

I’ve been having the issues with logging in, upon login I was given an error code 83 and told to contact support. I dont know if it’s completely fixed yet or not but my service is back up and running after not working at all. I am on IOS using their app. Thank you Disney + employees! by u/Firefly333

Another user reported:

I saw some change in this last night as well, but still not perfect:

I was getting 83 on iPad, iPhone, desktop, and Apple TV whether I used a VPN, cellular, or wifi.

I was getting 83 regardless of what account I was using to sign in with. Couldn’t create new ones either.

Late last night, using iPhone and cellular, I was able to login. I could watch shows.

If I turned on iPhone wifi, I remained logged in but was unable to watch shows.

I am still getting 83, on login, on iPad, desktop, and Apple TV.

I am still getting 83, on watching, on iPhone with wifi enabled

Due to Server Timeout:

If the server is overloaded on Disney+’s end then you will get this error 83. You can follow the below workarounds for fixing this issue:

  • The workaround for this is to check whether your internet is working fine and you have appropriate data in your active data plan.
  • Moreover, it is advised to use WiFi for streaming uninterrupted content using Disney+.
  • Try to refresh the page or wait sometime before streaming content and let the Disney server ease up.
  • You can always make use of websites like DownDetector that will let you know if this issue is widespread and in that case, the only thing that you can do is to wait for things to get normal.

Due to Incompatible Platform

Error 83 has also been spotted on different platform’s devices that could not pass the DRM (Digital Rights Management) check that Disney+ requires before the streaming of content. And to fix this:

  • The most common solution that you can apply is to restart your phone and see if this solves your issue.
  • Make sure to update the installed Disney+ app on your smartphone or TV  to the latest version.
  • If there is a new firmware update available for your device itself, then you can try installing that and see if the error goes away or not.
  • Disney+ supports streaming on Windows and Mac browsers such as Chrome, Microsoft Explorer and Edge, Firefox and Apple Safari. So, make sure that you are using browsers on PC or Laptop to stream content and not your TV.
  • Besides, by default, Diney+ allows you to stream on a max of 5 devices. So, if you are trying to log in on a sixth device, then you simply won’t be able to use, because of Disney’s limitations.
