Method 4: Change the Playback Quality

If you see that Hulu is constantly kicking you out while streaming any video, then probably there is an issue with the video streaming quality. Maybe Hulu is unable to stream in the highest video quality settings you have set to. To change the playback quality of the video, you can follow the steps mentioned below:

Open the Hulu app and navigate to the profile section.Now, navigate to the settings > cellular data usage.Now, select the data saver option. The data saver option helps to stream the video in either low or mid-quality.

After you make the above settings, quit the settings page. Now, try to stream in the standard quality and check if the Hulu application is crashing or not.

Method 5: Check the Device Compatibility

Though Hulu supports all major platforms, make sure your streaming device as well is supported. To know about device compatibility, visit the help center of Hulu and look for your device in the list of supported devices. In case your device isn’t compatible with the Hulu platform, then we recommend you stream through the browser.

Method 6: Clear the Cache and Cookies of your Browser

Your browser collects information from various websites that helps in improving your browser performance. This information is known as cache, and it is stored in your local folder. Though it might be beneficial to have cookies, sometimes it can be troublesome as well. Follow the steps mentioned below to clear the cache of your browser:

Method 7: Disable the Browser Extensions

Sometimes browser extensions and third-party extensions might cause trouble streaming on Hulu. Incompatible browser extensions interfere with the Hulu platform streaming. To fix this issue, we recommend you turn off the browser extension or try to log in to Hulu on another browser where no extensions are installed. To disable the browser extensions, we recommend you follow the steps mentioned below:

So, if your Hulu account keeps crashing while streaming the content, then do check the internet speed. We suggest you check the internet speed on websites like fast.com or speedtest.net. If the speed test shows low internet speed, then we recommend you either reset the router and log in to your Hulu account or call your ISP to fix the internet issue.

Method 9: Log out of other devices

Another reason why Hulu keeps crashing is that the number of devices you are streaming Hulu on is exceeded. Try to log out of other devices that are not needed. To log out of other devices in one go, follow the steps mentioned below:

Provide your credentials and log in.Now, go to your account and open “manage devices” to remove the other devices that are linked to your Hulu account.Select “manage your devices” and open protect your account option.Now, log out of other devices and try to log in again on the same system.Create a new Hulu profile now and see if the Hulu crashing is fixed or not.
