How to Add a Hulu Profile on Smartphones, Roku, Apple TV and More

Adding a profile to Hulu is easiest on a Mac or PC, but you can also do it on most handheld devices that support the streaming service. 

• On iOS and Android: Open the app and tap the Account icon. Next, select your name to open the Profiles page and tap on the (+) New Profile icon. Type in your credentials (name, birth date, and gender) and tap Create Profile to confirm.
• On TV-Connected Devices (Roku, Smart TV, Apple TV, Game Consoles, Set-Top Boxes, and Streaming Sticks): Select (+) New Profile from the Profiles screen that appears when first opening the app. If you’re already actively using the app, go to Account > Profiles > (+) New Profile instead. Then, type in the profile credentials and select Create Profile to confirm.
  

How to Manage Other Settings for Hulu Profiles

Profiles are a great way to manage you and your family's Hulu viewing preferences, but individual profile settings aren't set in stone once you've created them. You can edit profile details at any time and even set up parental controls if need be.

Here's how to manage your Hulu profile settings:

1. Under Manage Profiles, click the Pencil icon next to the profile you wish to edit.
   

2. Adjust the following options as need be:

   • Name: Change the Profile Name by clicking the text box and typing in a new one.
   • Birthdate: You can’t change a profile’s birthdate yourself. If you need to change it, you’ll have to contact Hulu for assistance.
   • Gender: Select a gender from the dropdown menu.

   
   
   

3. Click Save Changes.
   

4. To ensure any children who use your Hulu account can’t access regular profiles, you can set up a PIN by selecting PIN Protection under Parental Controls.
   

5. Enter a 4-digit code and select Create PIN. You’ll now need to enter this PIN when accessing a Hulu profile (with the exception of KIDS profiles, of course).
