Hulu is slowly rolling out a new interface for streaming devices like Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku, among other supported devices. The new design moves navigation to the left with options for TV, Movies, and My Stuff.
The company confirmed to TechCrunch that the updated UI was released yesterday. It will be available in the coming months on all supported connected TV devices, including Android TV devices, as well as Chromecast, LG Smart TVs, Samsung Smart TVs, Vizio SmartCast TVs and more.
Cablecutter News was the first to report on the new interface.
Users who saw the update were greeted with a message from Hulu stating, “In the coming weeks, Hulu’s navigation menu will move to the left side of the screen on living room devices. Press “Back” to open the menu for easy access to TV, Movies, My Stuff and more.”
The update makes it easier for TV users to navigate to these destinations. Previously, viewers had to scroll to the top of the page. Users can now click the back button on the remote to access the menu.
