Hulu 'Skip intro' button for all shows still in the works, but no ETA yet

Hulu is an on-demand American subscription streaming service with The Walt Disney Company as its major stakeholder. It has been around for more than a decade now.

One of the constant demands from Hulu users has been a skip button for the intro of TV shows and movies. It’s a feature that has been there for their competitors like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video for years.

For a while now, many users on Twitter have been demanding for the feature to be released in future updates (1,2,3,4,5,6,7). Hulu is a part of Disney, and Disney+ has had the ‘skip intro’ button for years as well.

You guys are majority owned by Disney and Comcast, some of the largest mega corporations in America. Disney+ has skip intro and skip recap. What is the hold up?

It’s been years and somehow Hulu is not any easier to use than when it first came out. No skip intro, buggy as hell, no ease of use whatsoever

For some time now, the ‘skip intro’ button has been limited to select shows on the platform. But it seems that Hulu has finally started working on expanding the feature to more shows and has, in fact, been experimenting with it.

Hulu Support on Twitter confirmed that they are currently working on introducing this feature to its wider audience. But at the moment, it’s only available for select content on a few devices.

However, they did not provide any ETA for its release. Granted, Hulu subscribers will have to remain patient for some time.

Until then, we will be keeping track of further developments on the matter and let you know as and when we come across more information.
