How Can I Screenshot Hulu Without Black Screen?

There are 2 tested ways that you can record or screenshot Hulu without black screen. Because of the DRM protection, Hulu blackouts the video screen when you try to record or take a screenshot on it with the built-in screen recording feature. Also, you may encounter the similar cases on the streaming sites like Netflix, BIGO, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, Max, Disney Plus, etc.

Declamier: It is not encouraged to record or screenshot copyrighted content for illegal use.

If in an inevitable suitation that you have to take a screenshot on Hulu successfully, you can try:

Way 1. Choose a professional third-party screen recorder that can not be detected easily. iTop Screen Recorder is a worthy of trying choice. It has a targeted “Enhanced Mode” working on bypassing the DRM detection, thus, you can capture the Hulu screen easily. You just need to:

1. Download and launch up iTop Screen Recorder on Windows PC.

Way 2. Use a different browser or device.

You can use another device, like a smartphone, to take a photo of the Hulu video screen is also a direct and quick method. Otherwise, the older versions of web browsers or other browsers like Firefox may not have the DRM restriction. 

As for my view, third-party tools are better because it outputs HD images and enables instant editings. That’s all the advice and hope it helps！
