Hulu lets you download videos – but only on select plans.
Have you been winding if and how to download Hulu Videos? We’ll walk you through everything you need to know in this article.
Plenty of streaming services let you download their movies and TV shows for offline viewing. This includes services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Disney Plus. Downloading content to your smartphone can be a lifesaver especially when you have a weak internet connection or are in a place with no internet – like on a plane flight.
The good news is Hule also lets you download movies and TV shows for offline viewing. But the bad news? You need select Hulu plans to do this. Hulu only allows the downloading of content if you subscribe to its Hulu (No Ads) or Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV subscription plans.
However, just because you subscribe to one of the above plans doesn’t mean you can download any video for offline viewing. Hulu only allows select movies and TV shows for download.
