What people learn from using it
Reported by people who use Hulu, not by Hulu. Every note links to where we found it, and says how many sources we could confirm it in.
Picture and sound
-
Web browsers permanently cap video quality at 720p
Regardless of subscription tier or internet speed, streaming Hulu through a PC web browser limits resolution to 720p due to strict digital rights management protections.
What the source says
Hulu's website, for example, can only stream in either standard definition or 720p. https://www.engadget.com/2200298/hulu-auto-quality-downgrading-pictur…
