How to activate a new device
The easiest way to activate a new device is by downloading the Hulu app and logging in with your email address and password. If you’re using a Smart TV or TV-connected device, you may have the option to activate the device online instead.*
To activate a new device using an activation code:
- Launch the Hulu app
- Select Log In on the Welcome screen, then choose Activate on a computer. On the next screen, you’ll be presented with an Activation Code
- Go to your Account page (log in if prompted) and look for the Watch Hulu on Your Devices section, or head directly to hulu.com/activate
- Enter the unique code that is displayed on your TV screen and within 30 seconds or so you should be logged in
Whenever a new device is activated on your account, you’ll get an email with the following details:
- What? The kind of device that was activated
- Where? The location (city, state, country, etc.) where the device was activated
- When? The date and time the device was activated
