How Do I Link My Hulu Profile to My Google Account?

[Kmartin88]

Hello!

I bought a new Google Chromecast 4k for my LG tv. I have it powered using the brick and wall outlet. The firmware has been updated. Me and my partner both use the tv. 

He is logged in with his Google account and then we did "add account " and I added my Google account.

The problem we see is at the Home menu on the Chromecast it only shows "continuing watching" using his Hulu profile. Even when I select "Switch Account" and chose my Google account. We have separate profiles within Hulu, but the Chromecast isn't letting me pick which one to use. I've gone directly into the Hulu app and changed to my Hulu profile whole logged into the Chromecast as me and it still shows his "Continue Watching" feed.

What am I doing wrong? We watch a lot of the same shows and a lot of very different shows. I don't want his watch progress on everything. I want it to switch back and forth using the Google account that is being accessed. 

It also shows my YouTube continuing watching on my account, but doesn't show his (or mine) on his account. What in the world is going on with this thing?

 

 

Please help.

You probably aren't doing anything wrong.

The "Continued Watching" tries its best but it's a bit of a tricky thing because most of those other services (like Hulu) don't want to expose all their watch data to Google.

Tell Google about your problems using Feedback.

Google doesn't read every post in this forum but they do read and track all the feedback they receive that way. Just so you know, they won't respond directly to feedback so don't ask them any questions.

Thanks! The whole thing seemed half-cocked enough that I just returned it. (Not saying it's all Google's fault, it just didn't work as advertised.) Going with another Roku instead. I did submit the feedback though.
