How to download shows from Hulu
A downloaded movie or show is the perfect way to stay entertained if you find yourself offline.
Whether you're going camping or on a flight where you may not have any entertainment, you can download a movie or a couple episodes of your favorite shows on Hulu.
Unfortunately to download a show on Hulu you need to be subscribed to Hulu (No Ads) or Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV. There is a 30 day free trial for Hulu (No Ads) though. Additionally, you can only download shows and movies from Hulu on supported mobile devices. Most iPhones, iPads, Androids, and Amazon Fire tablets are supported, but Hulu offers more information on which devices are supported.
And not all movies and shows on Hulu are available for download. Shows and movies that are available for download will have a downwards facing arrow near the movie or episode title.
But, the good part is that you can have up to 25 shows or movies downloaded at a time from Hulu.
Here's how to do it.
How to download movies and shows on Hulu
- 2 min
- Smartphone or tablet
- Hulu app
Step 1: Open the Hulu app.
Step 2: Navigate to the movie or TV episode you want to download.
You can tell if the movie or TV episode can be downloaded if there is a downwards facing arrow below the movie title or next to the TV episode title.
Step 3: Tap the "download" icon below the movie title or next to the TV episode title.
To download a TV episode, search for the show and select it. Then scroll down to the episode you want to download and tap the "download" icon. When a movie or TV episode is downloaded the icon will turn white and have a checkmark inside it.
There you have it. Now log off and get watching.
