Where to Find Your Hulu Activation Code?

Before logging in, you'll typically need an activation code if you want to view Hulu on your Smart TV or streaming device. When they don't see the code or are unsure of where to enter it, many people get puzzled.

Where to Find Your Hulu Activation Code

Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Launch the Hulu app

Open the Hulu app after turning on your streaming device or smart TV.

Step 2: Choose Log In

Instead of beginning a new subscription, select Log In on the welcome screen.

Step 3: Choose "Activate on a Computer" (If Available)

Some devices display two sign-in options:

• Log In on This Device

• Activate on a Computer

Choose Activate on a Computer to receive the activation code.

Step 4: Check Your Code for Activation

Your TV screen will display an activation code consisting of six to eight characters.

While you finish the activation, keep this screen open.

Step 5: Input the Code

Go to the Hulu.com/activate page on your computer or phone, log into your account, and enter the code that appears.

Your TV automatically refreshes and logs you in after verification.

Devices That Display a Hulu Activation Code

You may receive an activation code on devices such as:

• Roku

• Amazon Fire TV

• Android TV

• Apple TV

• Chromecast with Google TV

• Samsung Smart TV

• LG Smart TV

• Vizio Smart TV

• Xbox consoles

• PlayStation consoles

• Select Blu-ray players

Some newer devices allow direct login instead of showing an activation code.

Why Isn't My Hulu Activation Code Showing?

Try these fixes if the activation code doesn't show up.

Restart the Hulu app

Reopen the program after entirely closing it.

Restart the device

Turn off your TV or streaming gadget for a minute or so, then turn it back on.

Update the Hulu app

The activation screen might not appear properly on older Hulu versions.

Verify the connection to the internet

The activation page may not load correctly if the connection is weak or erratic.

Reinstall Hulu

Install the most recent version of the software after uninstalling the old one if the problem persists.

It took less than two minutes to activate a Roku streaming device during testing. After choosing Activate on a Computer, the activation code showed up right away. Using a smartphone to enter the code was far simpler than using the TV remote to type login credentials.

The code didn't show up on an older Smart TV until the Hulu app was updated. The activation option became accessible and functioned flawlessly after the most recent version was installed.

It's considerably easier to activate Hulu for the first time if you have a reliable internet connection for both your phone and TV.

An out-of-date app, a bad internet connection, or a transient software problem are typically the causes of this. The issue is frequently fixed by restarting the app or updating Hulu.
