Hulu offers a vast library of content, from on-demand shows and movies to live TV channels for subscribers of its Hulu + Live TV plan. With so many options available, finding your preferred channels quickly can enhance your streaming experience.
Fortunately, Hulu allows you to mark your favorite channels using its “My Stuff” feature, making accessing the networks you love easier without endless scrolling.
Here is a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to mark your favorite channels on Hulu.
Understanding Hulu’s “Favorites” system
Before proceeding, it is worth noting that Hulu does not have a specific section labeled “Favorites.” Instead, it uses a “My Stuff” feature to store your preferred content, including channels, shows, and movies.
For Hulu + Live TV subscribers, channels added to “My Stuff” also appear in the “My Channels” section of the Live TV guide, streamlining access to your go-to networks.
Whether you are a standard Hulu subscriber or a Live TV user, marking favorite channels is a straightforward way to personalize your interface.
Step-by-step guide to marking favorite channels on Hulu
Here is how to mark your favorite channels on Hulu:
1. Open the Hulu app and log in
Launch the Hulu app on your preferred device (e.g., smart TV, smartphone, or computer). Ensure you are logged into your Hulu account.
If you have multiple profiles, select the one you want to customize. This ensures your favorite channels are tied to your profile.
2. Navigate to the Hubs section
From the Hulu home screen, locate and select the “Hubs” tab. The “Hubs” tab is typically found at the top of the screen or in the main navigation menu (represented by three horizontal lines on some devices).
The section organizes Hulu’s content into categories like TV, Movies, News, and more, and it is where you will find a list of available channels.
3. Find the channels you want to mark
Scroll through the Hubs section or select the “A-Z” list to browse all available channels. In the “Hubs” tab, you will see channel tiles with logos (e.g., ABC, ESPN, CNN).
If you are looking for a specific channel and do not see it right away, the “A-Z” list at the bottom of the Hubs page provides a comprehensive directory of every network available on Hulu. It is especially useful for Live TV subscribers with access to 95+ channels.
4. Add Channels to My Stuff
Action: Hover over or select a channel tile, click the three-dot menu (usually in the top-right corner of the tile), and choose “Add to My Stuff.”
You may need to press a button like “OK” or “Select” on a TV or streaming device to bring up the menu.
Tapping or clicking the three dots on a mobile device or web browser will reveal the option. Once added, the channel is saved to the “My Stuff” collection.
5. Access your favorite channels
For non-live TV subscribers:
- Go to the My Stuff tab, typically next to Hubs at the top of the screen.
- Your marked channels will appear here, allowing quick access to their on-demand content.
For live TV subscribers:
- Navigate to the Live TV section from the main menu.
- Select My Channels to see a curated list of the channels you have added to My Stuff.
These and other saved content will also appear in your “My Stuff” tab.
6. Verify and adjust as needed
Check your “My Stuff” or “My Channels” list to ensure your favorite channels are listed. If a channel is missing, repeat the process.
To remove a channel, revisit the channel tile in the Hubs section, click the three-dot menu, and select “Remove from My Stuff.”
You can also add individual shows or movies to “My Stuff” by searching for them and selecting “Add to My Stuff” from their three-dot menu. That keeps all your favorite content in one place.
