Hulu Autoplay is a convenient feature when binge-watching or using your favorite show as background. It automatically starts the next episode or related content. However, if you’re on mobile data, with a limited data plan, or have slower internet speeds, Autoplay may waste data by playing content you don’t intend to watch. If you want more control over your viewing decisions, here’s how to turn off Autoplay on Hulu.
Autoplay ensures Hulu continues playing when your current viewing ends. For TV shows, it automatically plays the next available episode. For movies or documentaries, a title from a similar genre or category will autoplay.
If you’re binge-watching Hulu during other tasks, Autoplay keeps the content flowing. So you don’t need to reach for the remote. If you’re finishing a title, Autoplay suggestions can help you discover a new favorite within the same genre. To refine Hulu’s Autoplay suggestions, use the “thumb up” or “thumb down” icons to show your preferences.
However, if you prefer to select what you watch next, here’s how you can easily turn off Hulu Autoplay on mobile, desktop, and TV.
Hulu Autoplay is a useful feature for continuous watching. However, it doesn’t allow you to choose what plays next or decide when to stop. If you want to binge-watch in your own way, consider downloading shows and movies to MP4 and enjoy them with your device’s media player.
