FAQ
  • How do I log out of Hulu on my Fire Stick?

    First, find Settings in the app. It may be in a sidebar, or it could be along the top of the screen (depending on your version of the software). Log Out is usually the last option in Settings.

  • Why does Hulu Keep buffering on my Fire Stick?

    The most likely cause of buffering is a slow internet connection. Make sure no one on your network is doing any other bandwidth-intensive activities like streaming music or using another media platform. Otherwise, try restarting the app by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Hulu > Force Stop. Alternatively, remove your Fire Stick from power for a moment, and then plug it back in.
