How to fix Hulu issues on Xbox One

1. General troubleshooting

If you’re experiencing Hulu issues on Xbox One, here are some quick first things you can try before using any of the solutions that follow.

Perform a speed test on your connection. Once complete, compare the results of the same against the Hulu requirements for internet speed and connectivity. If they exceed the requirements, do the following:

• Power down and unplug your Hulu device, modem and router for one minute
• Power the three back on
• Connect your device directly to your router using Ethernet cable
• Disconnect other devices from your network
• Check your router settings and configuration to improve the network strength
• Contact your ISP for further assistance
• Reduce the devices using your network connection as these reduce internet speeds. For optimal streaming, ensure only a limited number of devices are using your WiFi, to boost up the speeds. Hulu requires 1.5 Mbps to stream SD videos and 3.0 Mbps for HD videos respectively.

Note: Hulu streams video in different ranges of picture quality adjustable according to your internet speed. Ensure your connection can achieve sustained download speeds of 3.0 Mbps for Hulu on-demand, and 8.0 Mbps for Hulu with Live TV. Watching multiple videos (or using the internet for other activities such as gaming, etc.) may require additional bandwidth.

2. Check your subscription

Are you able to log in to your Hulu account? If you can, are you able to watch videos or log in another device? If any of these are true for you, do the following to resolve it:

• Go to your Account page and check your billing status
• Update your billing information as required and try using Hulu again

3. Check your password

Sometimes Hulu issues on Xbox One could be due to your password, thus you may not log in easily. In this case, reset your password.

4. Check your email address

If your email address has issues, check if your Hulu account is registered to a different email address and try to sign in again. If this doesn’t help, try and recover your email.
