Google has announced that Hulu Plus is now available on their Google Chromecast media streaming device, the device launched back in July and retails for $35.

Hulu has added Chromecast support to their Hulu Plus app—just in time for the fall television season. Now you can easily enjoy your favorite shows, such as “Modern Family,” “New Girl” and “Parks and Recreation,” on your big-screen TV by casting from Hulu Plus on your mobile phone or tablet. It’s the same intuitive, remote-free experience you’ve come to enjoy with the other Chromecast-supported apps, and is as simple as pressing the Cast button which will now appear in the app.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
The integration of Hulu Plus with Google Chromecast significantly enhances the viewing experience for users. Chromecast, a compact and affordable device, plugs into the HDMI port of your TV, allowing you to stream content directly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. With the addition of Hulu Plus, users can now access a vast library of TV shows, movies, and exclusive content, making it easier than ever to enjoy entertainment on the big screen.
The Hulu Plus app’s support for Chromecast means that users can control their viewing experience directly from their mobile devices. This remote-free experience is not only convenient but also allows for seamless multitasking. For instance, you can browse the internet, check emails, or even use other apps on your device while streaming your favorite Hulu Plus content on your TV.
Simple Setup and Usage
Setting up Chromecast with Hulu Plus is straightforward. First, ensure that your Chromecast device is properly connected to your TV and that both your TV and mobile device are on the same Wi-Fi network. Next, open the Hulu Plus app on your mobile device. You will notice a Cast button within the app, which you can press to start streaming content to your TV. This user-friendly setup ensures that even those who are not tech-savvy can easily enjoy the benefits of Chromecast and Hulu Plus.
Moreover, the Chromecast device supports multiple users, meaning that everyone in the household can cast their favorite shows and movies from their own devices. This feature is particularly useful for families or shared living spaces, as it allows for a personalized viewing experience for each individual.
In addition to Hulu Plus, Chromecast supports a variety of other popular streaming services, including Netflix, YouTube, and HBO Max. This wide range of compatibility makes Chromecast a versatile and valuable addition to any home entertainment setup.
