When it’s all said and done, a brand-new streaming device being used over a high-quality internet connection can still have streaming issues if Hulu is to blame. There’s nothing you can really do if that’s the case. Regardless of where or how you use the service, below are several common Hulu streaming problems you might run into, and our take on what you can do to fix them, or at least minimize the issue as much as possible.
How to Fix It When Hulu Is Not Streaming From Any Device
If you can’t stream Hulu anywhere—their website, on your phone or TV, etc.—there’s a good chance the problem lies with the Hulu service itself. In this case, there’s nothing you can do to fix it, but you can verify this is indeed the problem before moving on to a different troubleshooting guide.
How to Fix When Hulu Live TV Is Glitching
Live TV streaming issues, such as never-ending buffering or a black screen, are more prone to occur during peak usage times. This is likely the problem for you if you notice issues only during particular times of the day or when streaming from a specific channel. It’s rare for huge services like Hulu to be completely down or for very long, so you can rest assured it’ll be live again as soon as possible. Keep trying a few times over the next few hours, and it’ll most likely be good to go again. Nevertheless, there are a few things you can try, since that might not be the specific problem in your case.
How to Fix Hulu Buffering Problems
Buffering problems are often due to limited bandwidth availability. There are several things you can do to address videos that are pausing intermittently or are blurry. If it’s the former (all channels are slow), reboot your network. If it’s the latter (trouble with just one or two channels), there isn’t much else you can do but wait and hope it clears up; popular channels are more prone to freezing than the less popular ones.
How to Fix Hulu Video With No Sound
Is Hulu displaying video, but there’s no sound? This is most likely temporarily glitch with an easy solution, but it might also point to a deeper issue with your speakers. All of those activities are competing for bandwidth, but since you have a restricted supply, Hulu will take a hit eventually, and slow down. If streaming Hulu right now is extremely important, and if you’re able to, completely unplug any network-connected device you don’t need right now. Keep your router/modem plugged in, but feel free to disconnect devices that could still be vying for bandwidth. One way to verify this is to run a speed test and then compare it to the speed Hulu recommends you have.
How to Fix It When Hulu Doesn’t Let You Log In
Is your “streaming issue” really just an authentication problem? If you can’t log in to Hulu, then you won’t be able to stream any video or watch live TV. Here are some suggestions:
