This review summarises recent observational results regarding the evolutionof angular momentum and disks in brown dwarfs. The observations clearly showthat brown dwarfs beyond ages of 10 Myr are exclusively fast rotators and donot spin down with age. This suggests that rotational braking by magnetic windsbecomes very inefficient or ceases to work in the substellar regime. There is,however, some evidence for braking by disks during the first few Myrs in theevolution, similar to stars. Brown dwarf disks turn out to be scaled downversions of circumstellar disks, with dust settling, grain growth, and in somecases cleared out inner regions. The global disk properties roughly scale withcentral object mass. The evolutionary timescales in substellar disks areentirely consistent with what is found for stars, which may be challenging tounderstand. Given these findings, it is likely that brown dwarfs are able toform miniature planetary systems.
