Watching your favorite shows and movies on Hulu through your Roku device is easy and convenient. However, there may come a time when you need to log out of your Hulu account on your Roku. Logging out ensures that no one else can access your personal Hulu profile without your permission. Fortunately, logging out of Hulu on Roku only takes a few simple steps.
## Why You Might Want To Log Out Of Hulu On Roku
There are a few key reasons why logging out of your Hulu account on Roku is a good idea:
* **Protect privacy**: Logging out prevents others who have access to your Roku from viewing your Hulu watch history, personalized recommendations, and viewing what shows you have saved in My Stuff. This keeps your Hulu activity private.
* **Avoid surprise charges**: By logging out, you ensure that no one can subscribe to additional Hulu plans or make in-app purchases that would be charged to your payment method on file. This avoids unwanted charges on your account.
* **Manage multiple Hulu profiles**: Families often share a single Roku but have different Hulu profiles for each member. Logging in and out allows the right profile to be accessed by the appropriate family member.
* **Use on a shared or public Roku**: When using Hulu on a Roku in a shared space like a living room or vacation rental, logging out removes access to your personal account once you are done watching.
No matter the reason, logging out of Hulu on your Roku provides an additional layer of privacy, security, and control over who can view or access your personal account.
## How To Log Out in Just a Few Steps
Logging out of Hulu on your Roku device only takes a moment. Just follow these simple steps:
### Access Roku Account Settings
1. From the Roku home screen, scroll up or down to highlight the Settings option.
2. Select Settings and scroll down to Account.
3. Choose Account to open your account details.
### Navigate to Channel Log Ins
1. From the Account screen, select Channel Log Ins.
2. This will display a list of channels like Hulu that you are currently logged into through your Roku account.
### Log Out of Hulu
1. Highlight the Hulu logo and press the asterisk * button on your Roku remote.
2. A prompt will appear asking “Are you sure you want to log out of Hulu on this Roku device?” Select Yes to confirm.
3. Hulu will now show a lock icon indicating you have successfully logged out of your Hulu account on this Roku device.
And that’s it! In just a few simple steps you can log out of your personal Hulu profile on Roku. To log back in, simply open the Hulu channel and re-enter your account credentials when prompted.
## Important Notes About Logging Out of Hulu on Roku
Here are some additional details to keep in mind when you log out of Hulu on your Roku:
* **Saved shows remain**: Any shows or movies you have saved to My Stuff on Hulu will still be there for your user profile after logging out and back in.
* **Reactivate premium add-ons**: If you have premium Hulu add-ons like HBO Max or Cinemax, you will need to reactivate these subscriptions after logging back into Hulu on your Roku.
* **Parental controls revert**: Any customized parental controls like maturity rating settings or profile PINs will have to be reset up after logging back in.
* **Multiple Roku devices**: Logging out on one Roku does not log you out of Hulu on any other Roku devices your account is still actively signed into. You have to log out separately on each device.
So while logging out is simple, be aware it clears all active Hulu session data until you sign in again. As long as you log back in with the same Hulu credentials, your account details, watch history, and personal customizations will be restored.
