One of the great things about the top streaming platforms is that their Cyber Monday and holiday deals stick around for a little longer. That’s great news if you were busy shopping for all of the incredible deals and discounts elsewhere. You don’t have to worry too much about rushing your favorite streaming platform. Not to mention, streamers like Disney+ are a little more benevolent to both new and returning subscribers. As a matter of fact, every Cyber Monday, Disney+ unveils an exclusive Cyber Monday promotion, an annual gift that’s been going strong for seven years. It’s back this year, it’s still available, and we’ve got the inside scoop on the newest Disney+ Cyber Monday extravaganza:
From now through Monday, December 2, eligible new and returning Disney+ subscribers can add Hulu (With Ads) for only $1 per month, which is about $100 in savings for the year. Subscribers can also choose the Disney+ Hulu bundle, which gives you both services, with ads, for just $3 per month.
Eligible Hulu subscribers can also add the Starz on Hulu Premium Add-on for only $12 per month.
For those unaware, Disney has done a solid job of buying entertainment conglomerates over the last several years. Not only does Disney+ feature boatloads of Disney movies, shows, and platform exclusives, but you’ll also be able to enjoy content from the likes of Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, National Geographic, ESPN, and 21st Century Fox. And best of all, with Disney’s Cyber Monday markdowns, you’ll be able to enjoy these films and shows for some of the lowest prices of the year!
Disney+ is available on most smart TVs, streaming devices, and game consoles, but you’ll also be able to access the streamer from a web browser. Specific Disney+ plans will even allow you to download media for offline viewing. While this promotion only lasts until December 2, that’s plenty of time to take advantage of this phenomenal offer. Save big on Disney+, Hulu, and Starz this holiday season, and be sure to take advantage of the best streaming devices and Cyber Monday TV deals to watch your new streaming platforms in the best way possible.
If you did get a new TV this year, or a streaming device, you’ll want to take advantage of these streaming plan offers. That way, you’ll have something to watch on that gorgeous new high-fidelity TV.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
