Hayu is an on-demand streaming service available in about 20 countries. It’s an excellent choice for reality programming fans. But can the entire family enjoy it with a single subscription?
The truth is that Hayu’s business model is based on serving individual customers rather than families and households. As a result, its features can be limiting. But let’s learn more about the simultaneous streams!
How many simultaneous streams come with Hayu?
Hayu only lets you stream to one device at a time. If you compare it to the competition, it’s not impressive. The industry standard is usually at least two simultaneous streams at a time. If it’s any consolation, Hayu keeps the price low to ensure this is still an affordable deal. If you need more info on the platform’s specifics, you can contact Hayu’s customer support.
Can I upgrade Hayu and get more streams?
No, Hayu does not offer an upgrade for multiple simultaneous streams. The only option is to register another account and unlock another stream that way. However, that would double your subscription price. Here’s more information about Hayu’s plans and pricing to discover if that’s a smart call.
What devices can I use to watch Hayu?
Hayu has apps for the most popular streaming devices, smart TVs and mobile devices. However, the availability of those apps varies among the fourteen countries where Hayu is available. To get the full details, check out our article Hayu Device Support – Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and More.
Give Hayu a Shot Today, but only if you enjoy reality TV
There’s no dilemma – Hayu is intended strictly for reality TV fans. You only have a single simultaneous stream available, but the on-demand library is quite full. You can pick from true crime and documentaries, but also daring shows like WAGS: Atlanta. The platform also offers Keeping Up with the Kardashians and other reality TV classics.
If you want all-around content, it’s better to go with Paramount+ or similar platforms. You also have the option of choosing live TV streaming services, such as DirecTV Stream.
