One of the reasons why people like and use Hulu is that you can watch it offline. This is a very convenient app for people who travel and need something to watch on a long drive. 

This is truly a lifesaver when there is no Wi-Fi and you’re bored to death. But, in order to watch Hulu offline, you need to download the movie. Also to download videos on Hulu, you need to be a Hulu (no ads) subscriber.

After checking the compatibility of your phone with Hulu, we can finally move on to the method to watch Hulu offline. If you want to watch Hulu offline then there is one simple way to do so – download the video.

Downloading the Movie

Did you know that once you are a Hulu (no ads) and Hulu (no ads) + live TV subscriber, you can download any movies and shows from the streaming library and watch it offline? First, make sure that you have the Hulu app installed on your phone and that you are connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data. 

Then follow these steps to search and download the movie or show:

Movies

  1. Open the Hulu app.
  2. Tap on the search icon.
  3. Click on Downloadable from the browse menu.
    downloadable
  4. Find the movie you want to download

Go to the Downloads

Now that you have downloaded the movie or TV show, there is just one last step you need to follow. Which is, of course, watching the downloaded movies or TV shows. If you are searching for the downloaded contents, follow the given steps:

  1. Open the Hulu app.
  2. Tap on Downloads.
    downloads
  3. Search the content you want
  4. Play the movie/TV show
Note: Autoplay is turned off in offline streaming mode.

Will the Downloaded Movie Stay on My Device Forever?

The movies and TV shows that you download have an expiry date and get unavailable after they cross the expiry date. But you renew the expired movies and TV shows again if they are downloadable.

Here’s how you can renew the expired downloads:

  1. Open Hulu app
  2. Go to the Downloads
  3. Tap on the alert icon (!)
  4. Tap on Renew Download.

How to Delete Downloads?

Downloading big storage eaters like movies and TV shows can be problematic in the future. So, it’s better for you and your phone to remove them after watching them. Follow these steps to remove the old contents and make space for new ones:

  1. Open the Hulu app.
  2. Go to Downloads
  3. Tap Edit at the top of your screen
  4. Select the videos you want to delete
  5. Tap on the trash icon.
    delete-downloads
  6. Press on Delete.

Download Limits

If you download movies and TV shows on Hulu, you must know about the download limits. So, you do not miss the important movies and watch them before they expire. You can download 5 contents per device which makes a total of 25 contents in 5 devices.

The downloaded but unwatched contents will be available till 30 days. And once you start the playback you will only have 48 hours (2 days) to finish the movie before it expires. This is one great disadvantage to us but we can do nothing about it other than finishing it up before the expiry.
