Hulu subscription FAQ
Can I watch Hulu on more than one device?
Yes. A standard Hulu subscription supports streaming on two screens at the same time. Hulu + Live TV subscribers can also stream on two screens simultaneously by default, with an optional Unlimited Screens add-on that allows unlimited supported devices on the Home Network and up to three mobile devices while away from home.

Can I change my Hulu subscription later?
Yes. If Hulu bills you directly, you can change your plan and manage eligible add-ons through the "Your Subscription" section of your Account page on Hulu.com. If a third-party provider bills you, you'll generally need to manage your subscription through that provider, and available plans and add-ons may differ.
What happens after I cancel Hulu?
After canceling, you generally keep access to Hulu through the end of your current billing cycle, after which streaming access ends. Because details can vary, it's a good idea to check your account or Hulu's official policies for the most accurate information.
