Tomorrow it will finally happen. Tomorrow Disney+ will go live in large parts of Europe. But the streaming quality will be reduced for the time being.
Disney+ is set to launch in Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and the UK on March 24. Originally, France was also supposed to be part of the package, but the launch of the new streaming service will be delayed there. Reuters is now reporting that Disney+ will also be available with reduced streaming quality. The measure is aimed at reducing the load on data networks in Europe. According to a Explanation:
In anticipation of higher consumer demand, the company is taking steps to “reduce our overall bandwidth usage by at least 25 percent in all markets where Disney+ launches on March 24.
Facebook also reduces video streaming quality
Accordingly, in addition to Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and Apple TV+ Disney can also stream in reduced quality. In addition, the launch of Disney+ in France has been postponed by two weeks at the request of the French government. This means that the service will not start until April 7th. The Facebook Group committed yesterday to reducing the video streaming quality on Facebook and Instagram. It is not yet known how long this will actually last. Only Netflix stated a period of 30 days. So it remains to be seen how things will develop. (Photo by prescott09 / Bigstockphoto)
