There are many reasons behind Disney+ Hotstar not working on Smart TV. Some of the reasons why the streaming service app is not working can also be some internal problem or app glitch. However, try updating the app on your Smart TV, and your Android and iOS smartphone and retry connecting.
Close and Re-Open the App
Sometimes streaming content for a long time may cause a problem with the app. But, you can simply just close the app to avoid the error and reopen to use it again. For closing it completely, you must remove it from the working tabs on your smartphone as well.
Reinstall the App
Reinstalling the apps that are not working can stop the crashing problem completely. Reinstalling Hotstar will also help you to download the latest version of the app. First, uninstall the app from your Android or iOS smartphone and then go to the App Store or Play Store to install the app. After installing, check if the app is working properly or not.
If the Disney+ Hotstar still does not work, then allow the company to fix the internal problem. Use the mobile app or the Deskstop site to continue using the services of the application.
