Find the Moment in Your Video With the New Scrubber Feature in the Hulu App
Most online video players have a slider of some sort (a bar at the bottom that allows you to skip everything you’re watching), but if you are using a smartphone, actually trying to use this tool to find the exact location you want is usually more of a hassle than that. costs. Most of the time, you’re better off just revisiting the first half of your favorite show than trying to pick up where you left off.
Luckily for everyone who is tired of revisiting the same scenes or dealing with a naughty scrubber, Hulu has come up with a new interface (discovered by Gadget Hacks ) that is much easier to use. So now you can stop wasting time and jump to the point you want in any video you try to watch on your phone.
The new Hulu scrubber is very easy to use. First, make sure you are using the latest version of the app by checking the appropriate app store. Then download the video and tap anywhere on the screen that doesn’t already have a button. A new slider should appear in a few seconds – if you’re using an iPhone 7 or newer, you’ll also get some tactile feedback confirming it’s working.
From here, while holding your finger on the screen, simply swipe left or right to go back or forward. The exact time stamp will be displayed in a small gray box just above your finger. What’s more, you also get a visual preview of what is happening on the screen, making it very easy to find the right moment.
Once you let go, Hulu takes a second to reload the video. If you don’t pay for the ad-free version, you might have to suffer from ads depending on how far you skip, but that’s a small price to pay for not having to watch the first half of that episode that you started. last night before falling asleep in front of the TV.
