Welcome to Hulu Plus for Xbox One!
At Hulu, our mission is to help people find and enjoy the world's premium content when, where and how they want it, like on your Xbox One.
Hulu Plus is an ad-supported subscription service that streams tons of shows and movies for $7.99 a month. With Hulu Plus, you can catch up on current season episodes of your favorite TV shows, along with discovering new shows and movies you didn't even know you'd love.
Favorites help you quickly get to the shows that you're most interested in on Hulu Plus. Favoriting a show is also a great way to keep track of when new episodes are added to Hulu Plus.
To Favorite a show, select Add to Favorites from a show's main page. Now, when new episodes of a show are added to Hulu Plus, they will appear in your Queue.
Your Queue holds all the videos you plan on watching, kind of like a playlist. Your Queue is great for adding videos that you aren't ready to watch now, but maybe tomorrow or next week instead.
When a new episode of one of your Favorites is added to Hulu Plus, the video will automatically appear in your Queue. To manually add videos to your Queue, select the Add to Queue option from a movie or episode page.
Just like it sounds, this feature helps you to easily keep track of shows you often watch. You'll find this section right below the main navigation panel on the Hulu Plus app. With Shows You Watch, shows in which you're currently engulfed are no more than a click or two away!
Until you start watching shows on Hulu Plus, the Shows You Watch section may not appear.
At this time, we don't have the rights to stream every video to devices, so you may encounter what's called “Web-Only” content. These are shows or movies that we have the rights to stream on Hulu.com through a computer browser, but not on devices such as mobile phones, Blu-ray players, or gaming consoles.
Parental controls for Hulu Plus are managed through the Xbox One settings app.
To set restrictions for Hulu Plus, head to Settings > Privacy & online safety > Access to content > Access to content & apps. From there, you can select the option that best suits the needs of your family. This selection will set parental controls for the entire console.
Accessing shows and videos on Hulu Plus requires a subscription, which can be acquired right on your Xbox One.
A subscription to Hulu Plus gives you access to a library of shows and movies on a variety of supported devices for just $7.99 a month.
