## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why does my activation code keep expiring?">
    Activation codes are valid for 15 minutes for security reasons. If you are having trouble, generate a fresh code from the Hulu app and immediately go to [hulu.com/activate](https://hulu.com/activate) on another device.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I activated Hulu but the TV is still showing the sign-in screen.">
    After entering your code at [hulu.com/activate](https://hulu.com/activate), the TV app should refresh automatically within 30 seconds. If it does not, close and reopen the Hulu app on your TV.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I activate Hulu without a second device?">
    No. The activation flow at [hulu.com/activate](https://hulu.com/activate) is designed for a second device (phone, tablet, or computer). You cannot enter the code directly on the TV.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a MyDisney account to activate Hulu?">
    Yes. As of 2023, all Hulu accounts are linked to a MyDisney account. If you do not have one, visit [my.disney.com](https://my.disney.com) to create a free account before activating.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who should I contact if none of these fixes work?">
    Contact Hulu support directly at [hulu.com/support](https://hulu.com/support) or reach out via the Hulu Help Twitter account **@HuluSupport**. Live chat is available 24/7.
