(Note: On some Roku devices, the closed captions options are found under the "Captions" menu rather than the "Accessibility" menu.)

More About Disney Plus
Disney+ is built on technology developed by Disney Streaming Services; a company spun off from MLB Advanced Media in 2015 as BAMTech. (MLBAM). In 2017, Disney acquired a controlling stake in BAMTech, which was transferred to DTCI as part of a corporate restructuring to prepare for Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox. With BAMTech assisting with the early 2018 launch of ESPN+ and Disney's streaming distribution deal with Netflix set to expire in 2019, the company seized the opportunity to use ESPN+ technologies to establish a Disney-branded streaming service featuring its content. Production of films and television shows for exclusive release on the platform began in late 2017.
