When you're watching a movie in a Disney Plus GroupWatch, you can change the audio language and add subtitles without impacting others' viewing experience in your group. Unlike reactions, which pop up on everyone's screens in your GroupWatch, changes to audio or subtitles only affect you.

Here's how to do it with both the desktop and mobile Disney Plus apps.
