How to Manage Your Hulu Devices: Control Your Streaming Experience
Learn how to manage devices on your Hulu account. View, remove, or log out connected devices easily to enhance security, optimize streaming, and control access to your Hulu subscription.
Keeping track of the devices connected to your Hulu account is essential for maintaining control over your streaming experience, ensuring security, and optimizing your viewing. Whether you've logged in on a friend's TV, sold an old device, or simply want to ensure only authorized users have access, Hulu provides straightforward tools to manage your activated devices.
This guide will walk you through the process of viewing, removing, and logging out devices from your Hulu account.
Why Manage Your Hulu Devices?
Managing your connected devices offers several key benefits:
Security: If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, removing unfamiliar devices is a crucial first step.
Account Control: Keep your account tidy and ensure only devices you actively use are linked.
Streaming Limits: While Hulu primarily uses concurrent streams rather than device limits, managing devices helps you keep track of where your account is active.
Privacy: Protect your viewing habits and personal information.
How to Access Your Hulu Device Management
The primary way to manage your Hulu devices is through your account page on a web browser.
Log In to Your Hulu Account: Go to
Hulu.com Note: If you have a Disney Bundle, use your MyDisney login credentials.
Navigate to Account Settings: Once logged in, hover over your profile icon (or your name) in the top right corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, click on "Account."
Find "Manage Devices": On your Account page, scroll down and look for the section titled "Your Account" or "Privacy and Settings." You should find a link or button labeled "Manage Devices" (it might also say "Watch Hulu on Your Devices" with a "Manage Devices" link). Click on it.
Viewing All Activated Devices
Once you click "Manage Devices," a pop-up window or a dedicated section will display a list of all devices currently linked to your Hulu account. This list typically includes:
The name or type of the device (e.g., "Smart TV," "Roku," "iPhone," "Web Browser").
The date the device was last used or activated.
Review this list to identify any devices you no longer use or don't recognize.
Removing Individual Devices
If you see a specific device that you want to disconnect from your Hulu account:
Locate the Device: In the list of activated devices, find the device you wish to remove.
Click "Remove" or the Trash Can Icon: Next to each device, there will typically be a "Remove" button or a trash can icon. Click on this option for the device you want to unlink.
Confirm Removal: You may be asked to confirm your decision. Once confirmed, that device will be immediately logged out and will no longer be able to access your Hulu content until you log in again.
Logging Out of All Devices Simultaneously
For situations where you suspect unauthorized access or simply want to refresh all your active logins, Hulu provides an option to log out of all devices at once.
Access Account Settings: Follow steps 1 and 2 from "How to Access Your Hulu Device Management" above.
Go to "Privacy and Settings": On your Account page, scroll down to the "Privacy and Settings" section.
Select "Protect Your Account" (or similar): Click on this option.
Click "Log out of everywhere": Within this section, you should find a prominent button or link that says "Log out of everywhere" or "Log me out of other computers." Click it and confirm your action.
Important Note: This action will log out all devices connected to your Hulu account, including the one you are currently using. You will need to log back in on any devices you wish to continue using. It's highly recommended to change your Hulu password immediately after logging out of all devices, especially if you suspect a security breach. If you have a MyDisney account, changing your password will also log you out of all associated Disney Family of Companies services.
Security Best Practices
Regularly checking and managing your Hulu devices is a simple yet effective way to safeguard your account. If you ever find an unfamiliar device linked to your account, prioritize removing it and changing your password to prevent future unauthorized access.
By taking a few minutes to manage your Hulu devices, you can ensure a secure, personalized, and enjoyable streaming experience.
