Setting up multiple profiles on Hulu has several benefits, including allowing every member of your household to enjoy a tailored experience. However, if you aren’t tech savvy, you might not know how to go about creating them. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create and manage profiles for a personalized Hulu experience.
Why use multiple profiles?
Having separate profiles ensures that everyone gets personalized recommendations based on their viewing habits. Separate profiles will also have unique watch histories and saved shows. Having multiple profiles avoids cluttering the watchlist with content that doesn’t interest every user and enhances the overall viewing experience.
Additionally, parents can create kids’ profiles with age-appropriate settings, giving them peace of mind if the children get access to the television without supervision. I also keep multiple profiles based on my mood.
Steps to create a profile on Hulu
- Start by signing into your account on your preferred device. You can add profiles using the app or web interface.
- Navigate to your account icon or the profile picture in the top-right corner of the screen. Select “Manage Profiles” or “Add Profile” from the drop-down menu.
- On the next page, you should see any current profiles and an option to create a new one.
- Add a name for the new profile, select the birth date, and specify whether it’s a kid’s profile. Hulu’s kid profiles restrict access to PG-rated content and put a password on any profiles that are not for children. You will also choose your gender.
- Once you enter all of the details, save them, and your new profile will appear next to any others when you sign in.
- Choose your profile and start streaming to teach the algorithm what you are interested in so you can start seeing better suggestions.

Managing existing profiles
You can edit or delete profiles at any time by returning to the “Manage Profiles” section. This flexibility allows you to update preferences or remove profiles that are no longer in use. Starting a new profile can be helpful if you feel you are not getting the best suggestions, and it can be a great way to sort your viewing into categories, like date night, family night, her, hers, etc. Each can have unique movies saved, and the algorithm will get better at selecting movies for those events.
With multiple profiles, Hulu becomes more user-friendly and enjoyable for everyone in the household. Create yours today and enjoy a truly personalized streaming experience!
