After checking the compatibility of your phone with Hulu, we can finally move on to the method to watch Hulu offline. If you want to watch Hulu offline then there is one simple way to do so – download the video.

You can download 5 contents per device which makes a total of 25 contents in 5 devices. The downloaded but unwatched contents will be available till 30 days. And once you start the playback you will only have 48 hours (2 days) to finish the movie before it expires. This is one great disadvantage to us but we can do nothing about it other than finishing it up before the expiry.
