How do you add and adjust profiles on Hulu?
Hulu makes account set-up easy once you have a subscription.
The library on Hulu is a little different than that of Disney+, its corporate sibling. Hulu is more of a general entertainment streamer, which means its content catalog has a lot more licensed titles in order to carry something for everyone who wants to watch.
That means setting up various profiles on Hulu for all the members of your household is highly important, so that everyone sees recommendations based on their specific tastes. A person who comes to the series for next-day streams of ABC primetime dramas probably doesn’t want to see animated shows for adults on their home page, and vice versa. We’ll give you more details on how to set up Hulu profiles here!

How many profiles can you use on Hulu?

Yes, if you wish to transfer a Hulu profile to a new, paid Hulu subscription, you can do so! To proceed with a profile transfer, the person setting up a new account will want to try to log into Hulu on a connected TV in their new household.
Doing so will pull up a warning: “This TV doesn’t seem to be part of the Hulu Household for this account” Click the Create Account prompt, and you can start the profile transfer process to your new Hulu subscription. The owner of the original account will receive a request to approve the transfer of the profile to the new account and will have seven days to approve that request.
