How to Turn Off Descriptive Audio on Disney Plus

The Disney Plus streaming service came online in 2019. So on  this service, you can watch many movies and shows in the Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, or Marvel collections. Further, for vision impaired and blind users, many of these shows have a descriptive audio track. In that program, an announcer tells what’s going on on the screen as the show plays.  You can hear this narration by turning it on in the Disney Plus app. Unfortunately, many users report accidentally enabling descriptive audio when they don’t want them, and then they don’t know how to disable them again.  So in this piece, we show you how to turn off the descriptive audio feature on Disney Plus, as follows.
