Hulu not working? Here’s what to do.

Are you having trouble with Hulu streaming? And just when you need your on-demand content to work so you don’t go crazy at home or stand in line.

Let us help you as we answer most of your questions about these pesky error messages from Hulu.

Before we dig into all of the common error codes on Hulu, we need to cover the troubleshooting steps. Because how many times have you called tech support for technical issues just to ask if you’ve tried to troubleshoot your app or shut down your device?

I think we all have. Here we go.

Troubleshooting Hulu or Hulu with Live TV

• Check if Hulu is down.
• Sign out of Hulu on all devices and sign back in.
• Delete the Hulu app, re-download it from the App Store, and sign back in.
• Check your internet download speed from the device you are using (it should be at least 6 Mbps for Hulu and 8 Mbps for Hulu with Live TV.)
• Disconnect your smartphone or the Wi-Fi internet connection from the device you are using, wait a minute, and then reconnect.
• Reset your Wi-Fi modem.
• Update the Hulu app.

Status check

One of the best ways for everyone to check if Hulu is down is to check the Twitter support page. Hulu run an active support page on this social media platform. Visit the page and check the current status and notices on when the app / service might be reactivated. The truth is, of all the apps that we have tested and watched over the years, Hulu is rarely available to everyone. It may have something to do with the lifespan of the app or perhaps the fact that it is owned by Disney and that they have a reputation to protect.

This problem usually means that there is an issue on the Hulu side, and it normally happens when watching Hulu on your digital media player, like a Roku or Xbox One.
