Introduction
Sometimes you just want to watch one movie or show on Hulu, and you don’t willingly want either the next episode or recommended show to automatically play. If you want to reduce the temptation to just sink into your chair and let Hulu keep feeding you shows to watch, you can turn off Hulu autoplay on a number of platforms the service appears on. In this video, I’ll show you how to turn off Hulu autoplay in the Hulu apps for Roku, and iPhone, iPad and Android devices, and also on the Hulu.com website. Examples of all instructions in the steps can be seen in the YouTube video below.
