Hulu on Disney+ Just Got Better: What You Need to Know About Linking Your Profiles

Hulu on Disney+ Just Got Better: What You Need to Know About Linking Your Profiles

Linking your 18+ Hulu profile to Disney+ will be available to eligible bundle subscribers in the coming days.

Starting today, select Hulu subscribers can link their Hulu profiles to Disney+, bringing their Hulu watch history, watchlist, and recommendations into Disney+. Viewers can easily pick up where they left off and enjoy the breadth and depth of Hulu and Disney+ content seamlessly.

Here's what you need to know:

I have Hulu through a bundle subscription. How do I link my Hulu profile to Disney+?

If you haven't already, download the Disney+ app or visit disneyplus.com and sign-in with the same MyDisney login you use for Hulu. You'll then be prompted to link your Hulu profile to an existing Disney+ profile.

After linking your profile, you can personalize it by choosing from a collection of avatars from Hulu, plus a wide selection of Disney+ favorites. Then review and confirm your content rating, and you're all set.

Linking your 18+ profile will be available to eligible Disney+, Hulu Bundle and Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Bundle subscribers in the coming days, and roll out to all bundle subscribers later this year. Visit the Hulu Help Center to learn more about eligibility.

How do I find Hulu content on Disney+?

Users with linked profiles will see their personalized watch history and recommendations, which include Hulu content, in the "For You" tab on the Home screen. Additionally, Hulu has its own dedicated Hub on Disney+, found by selecting the Hulu tab on the top navigation bar.

Pro Tip: Looking for ideas about what to watch? While streaming from your phone, select Verts on Disney+ from the bottom menu to scroll through a vertical video feed and discover something new.

What happens to my watch history, "My Stuff," and recommendations from Hulu once I link my profile?

You only need to link your Hulu profile to Disney+ once. After that, your watch history and recommendations will be reflected directly in the Disney+ app. Titles watched on Hulu will appear in the "Continue Watching" section of Disney+, and titles saved to "My Stuff" on Hulu will appear on Disney+ in the "Watchlist" section.

Are any Hulu features coming to Disney+?

Disney+ will soon begin testing a new Live Guide for subscribers to easily find content that's live right now. This includes Streams like ABC News Live and Disney+ Playtime for all Disney+ users and ESPN networks for entitled ESPN Unlimited subscribers.

Additional Hulu features, such as Live TV and add-ons, are still available in the Hulu app and will be coming to Disney+ at a later date.

What if I have Hulu but don't have a Disney+ subscription?

As long as you have an eligible Hulu subscription, you will be able to sign-in to Disney+ using the same MyDisney login you use for Hulu to stream Hulu content in the Disney+ app at no additional cost or change to your subscription plan.

Upon logging in, Hulu-only subscribers will continue to enjoy a small sampling of Disney+ and ESPN content to get a taste of what is offered to bundle subscribers.

All Hulu subscribers will also continue to have access to the standalone app to stream their favorite Hulu content.
