Here\u2019s a Solution"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

It\u2019s been a long day, and all you want to do is sit back with some ice cream and watch your favorite show, but you can\u2019t play it for some reason. There can be several reasons why the streaming service won\u2019t work, so make sure to find the solution instead of giving up on your favorite on-demand content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve put together a list of possible issues (and how to solve them) that might be why Hulu is not working. So, let\u2019s dive in and help you return to enjoying your favorite Hulu content as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Your Internet Connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like many other streaming platforms out there, Hulu demands high-speed internet. If your internet is slower than usual, you may not be able to watch a show without frequent buffering or won\u2019t be able to open the app at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always good to check your internet speed and see if your internet connection is to blame. You should be able to do this online in no time. If you want to watch Hulu, you\u2019ll need 3 Mbps for streaming<\/a>, while live streams and 4K content require 8Mbps and 16mbps, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Whether Hulu Crashed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even a popular streaming service experiences an occasional temporary crash. These interruptions don\u2019t occur often and are usually quickly fixed, but sometimes when an increasing number of users \u200b\u200btries using the app, it can go down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick way to check whether the platform is down is by visiting websites such as Isitdownrightnow<\/a> or Downdetector<\/a>. It\u2019s also wise to check Hulu\u2019s social media and see if they\u2019ve announced any bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear Cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clearing cache<\/a> can sometimes help because the local files can get corrupted, which results in an error. If you\u2019re watching Hulu on a desktop device, simply delete your browser\u2019s cache, and if you\u2019re watching Hulu on your phone, go to your settings and clear the cache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try a Wired Connection <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your Wi-Fi signal can sometimes weaken due to bad weather or because too many people are connected to one network. Trying to connect to the internet via a wired connection might solve the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check With Your ISP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there are no apparent bugs on Hulu\u2019s end and your internet connection seems fine, you can get in touch with your ISP (internet service provider) and see if there are any issues on their end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart Your Device <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Restarting your device might be the oldest trick in the book, but it\u2019s the first recommended advice for a reason, and it does the job just fine. Your device may have run too long, and a simple restart can help return it to its optimal function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reboot Your Modem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A similar thing applies to your modem; simply unplug it and plug it in again. It can help restore your internet connection or – if the connection was too slow – bring it back to the satisfactory level for streaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update or Reinstall the Hulu App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem may be in the app itself when you\u2019re still experiencing issues while your device is working and your internet connection is stable. If there are specific bug fixes or updates Hulu released, you\u2019ll likely need to go to App Store or Play Store and update your app to continue using the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, even though there\u2019s no maintenance, updating the app might help. Another way to solve app-related issues is to reinstall the app altogether. You simply need to delete the app and install it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try a Different Device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve exhausted all your options and established that nothing works, you can try to log in to your Hulu account from another device and see if that brings different results. If nothing more, you\u2019ll be able to undoubtedly rule out Hulu being down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deactivate and Reactivate Your Device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can always log in to your Hulu account and deactivate your device when facing issues. Once you do that, try and activate it again, and see if something changes. You can deactivate your device on Hulu by following these steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
