The media feed enables custom content integration and flexible implementation but with increased technical requirements. To take advantage of Hulu's media feed, sites must be able to ingest the feed into a content management system (CMS), to program web pages to expose thumbnail images and metadata and to surface the Hulu video player embed code provided. Sites must also honor availability and expiration dates associated with individual content assets.
If you are interested in the Media Feed please review the Terms of Service
and submit your contact information.
Hulu provides webmasters and editors with the ability to quickly find and contextually place individual videos. Editors can use tools provided by Hulu to identify videos and embed the video in the most relevant section of their site.
If you are interested in the Player Embed Directory please submit your contact information
Hulu provides webmasters the ability to index the Hulu.com site and send their users to the appropriate show pages on Hulu.com using a convenient site-mapping tool.

For typical Hulu users who want to share content on their personal websites, social networking profiles or blogs, Hulu's player embeds play a single video and are easily inserted on to any web page. Users can grab a video's embed code while watching on Hulu.com or from a distribution partner's site and add the code to their own sites or social network profiles to share with friends.
For users who like gadgets, Hulu's widgets are configurable and embeddable and provide access to Hulu's content library or selectable portions of it. Basic widgets link back to Hulu.com when a user selects a video. For video playback directly from the widget itself on the embedded site, choose the advanced widget embed code (note the increased Javascript requirements). Widgets can be placed on virtually any blog or social networking site or stand alone on your desktop.

It also makes it easy to view your queue and track featured, recently added and most popular videos on Hulu from your desktop, personal home page and social networking sites. From the widget, you can add items to your queue, post them to your blog or favorite social networking sites or email them to your friends.
