Before renting, purchasing, or streaming content through Vudu, customers should know that the service is now branded as Fandango streaming. Vudu was renamed Fandango at Home in 2024 and is currently presented through Fandango’s streaming website and apps.
Existing Vudu customers can continue using their accounts and digital libraries. Movies and television shows previously purchased through Vudu remain associated with the customer’s streaming account, subject to the applicable account, licensing, and platform terms.
How to Contact Vudu and Fandango Streaming Customer Service
Customers can use the following support options for former Vudu accounts and the current Fandango streaming service:
Fandango currently identifies 1-888-554-8838 as its technical-support telephone number. It does not publish one standard set of telephone hours on its current streaming support form.
The online support form states that general-support responses may take up to 72 hours. Live chat may provide more immediate assistance when an agent is available.
The former Vudu corporate address at 600 West California Avenue in Sunnyvale, California, should not be used as the current customer-support address.
Is Vudu Now Fandango?
Yes. Vudu was renamed Fandango at Home in 2024. The service is now increasingly identified simply as Fandango or Fandango streaming across its website, apps, and support pages.
The name change does not require existing customers to repurchase their digital libraries. Fandango states that Vudu movies and television shows remain in the customer’s streaming library.
Customers may also have the option to link or combine their Fandango movie-ticketing and Fandango streaming sign-ins. Although the brands now share the Fandango name, streaming purchases and theater-ticket transactions may still have different support, billing, gift-card, and refund procedures.

How Vudu and Fandango Streaming Work
Fandango streaming allows customers to:
- Rent eligible movies
- Purchase digital movies and television programs
- Watch free ad-supported content
- Redeem qualifying digital-copy codes
- Use eligible streaming gift cards
- Connect qualifying purchases with Movies Anywhere
- Download supported titles to eligible mobile devices
A monthly subscription is not required to rent or purchase individual titles. Customers create a free streaming account and pay for selected rentals or purchases.
Fandango also offers free ad-supported movies and television programs. The available catalog changes and may differ by device.
Vudu and Fandango Streaming Refunds
Fandango’s current streaming policy states that payments are generally nonrefundable and that customers do not have an automatic right to refunds or credits unless required by applicable law.
Fandango may provide a refund, promotional credit, discount, or other adjustment at its discretion. Receiving an adjustment for one transaction does not guarantee that the same adjustment will be provided for another transaction.
Customers should report an accidental or defective transaction promptly and avoid playing the title when requesting a review. Include:
- The account email address
- The movie or television title
- The order date
- The purchase price
- Whether the title was rented or purchased
- Whether playback was started
- The reason for the request
Fandango may deny a refund when the problem is caused by an unsupported device, inadequate internet service, failure to meet technical requirements, or another condition outside the service’s responsibility.
Purchases Made Through Another Platform
Some devices and app stores process their own payments. A transaction billed by Apple, Google Play, Roku, a television provider, or another platform may need to be disputed or reviewed through that company.
Review the receipt and billing statement to identify the merchant that processed the payment.
Fandango Customer Service may assist with access to the content but may not be able to reverse a charge controlled by another payment provider.
Vudu Rental Periods
Rental availability and viewing periods vary by title. The rental details displayed before checkout control how long the customer has to begin watching and how long the rental remains available after playback starts.
Customers should review the rental terms before completing the transaction. Do not assume that every rental has the same viewing period.
A rental may become unavailable when:
- The rental period expires
- The post-playback viewing window ends
- The title is downloaded to another device under an applicable restriction
- The customer signs into a different account
- A studio or licensing restriction applies
When a rental expires unexpectedly, verify the order date, playback start time, account email, and title-specific rental terms.
Missing Movies or Television Shows
When a purchased title is missing:
- Confirm that the correct streaming account is being used.
- Review the account’s purchase history.
- Search for the order-confirmation email.
- Check the payment-card statement.
- Sign out and sign back in.
- Update or reinstall the Fandango app.
- Check whether a Movies Anywhere account was disconnected.
- Submit the purchase information to streaming support.
A title displayed in purchase history without a corresponding payment may not represent a completed transaction.
Content can also become unavailable because of licensing restrictions, account changes, unsupported devices, or other limitations described in Fandango’s streaming policy.
Digital purchases provide a limited license to view content under the service terms. They do not transfer ownership of the underlying movie or television program to the customer.
Vudu and Movies Anywhere
Fandango streaming is a participating Movies Anywhere digital retailer. Customers can connect eligible Fandango purchases with a Movies Anywhere account and other participating retailers.
Eligible movies may then appear through connected services such as:
- Apple
- Amazon Prime Video
- Google Play and YouTube
- Xfinity
- Verizon Fios TV
- DIRECTV
Not every movie is eligible for Movies Anywhere, and television programs generally do not transfer through the service.
Look for the Movies Anywhere logo on a title’s information page. Only eligible purchases appearing in the Fandango purchase history can sync.
A Movies Anywhere account can only be connected to one account from each participating digital retailer at a time. After changing the connected Fandango account, a 180-day restriction may apply before another account can be connected.
When a movie is missing from Movies Anywhere:
- Confirm that the title is eligible.
- Verify that the correct Fandango account is connected.
- Check the Fandango purchase history.
- Disconnect and reconnect only after reviewing the 180-day restriction.
- Allow time for the libraries to synchronize.
- Use Movies Anywhere support when the connection is correct but the title remains missing.
Supported Fandango Streaming Devices
Fandango streaming is available on a range of mobile devices, streaming players, televisions, browsers, and game consoles.
Supported platforms currently include:

Browser playback is available through supported versions of Safari, Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. Maximum picture quality varies by browser and device.
Some older devices stopped supporting the Vudu or Fandango app in December 2024. Losing app support on one device does not automatically remove the customer’s digital library. The same account can normally be used on another supported device.
4K UHD, HDX, and SD Playback
Available video quality depends on:
- The title and purchased format
- The streaming device
- The television or display
- Internet speed and stability
- HDMI and copy-protection compatibility
- The Fandango app or browser
Some devices support playback in up to 4K UHD, while others are limited to HDX or SD.
When 4K playback fails, test the title at a lower resolution. A home network may stream HD successfully while struggling with the higher bandwidth required for 4K.
Purchasing a 4K version does not guarantee that every device will display it in 4K.
Fandango Streaming Playback Troubleshooting
When a movie or show does not play:
- Close and reopen the Fandango app.
- Confirm that the app is current.
- Restart the device.
- Restart the modem and router.
- Test another movie or television episode.
- Try a lower playback resolution.
- Sign out and sign back in.
- Remove and reinstall the app when appropriate.
- Test another supported device or browser.
When submitting a technical-support request, provide:
- The complete error message
- The affected title
- The selected resolution
- The account email address
- The device manufacturer and model
- The device operating system
- The Fandango app version
- The troubleshooting already attempted
Do not include the account password or complete payment information.
Downloading Vudu Purchases and Rentals
Supported Fandango streaming apps on compatible iOS and Android devices allow customers to download eligible purchased or rented content for offline viewing.
Download availability can depend on:
- The title
- The mobile device
- Available storage
- Licensing restrictions
- Rental expiration
- The number of authorized downloads
A downloaded rental may become temporarily unavailable on another device until the download is removed from the original device.
The former Windows 10 download feature is no longer available. Customers can continue streaming eligible titles through supported browsers and devices.
Vudu and Fandango Streaming Gift Cards
Fandango streaming gift cards can be added to an account and used toward qualifying movie and television rentals or purchases.
To add a streaming gift card:
- Sign in to the Fandango streaming website.
- Open the account menu.
- Select the payment-method section.
- Choose the option to add a streaming gift card.
- Enter the card number, PIN, and billing ZIP code.
- Save the gift card to the account.
The available gift-card balance is automatically applied to qualifying transactions. A second payment method may be required when the purchase exceeds the remaining balance.
Streaming gift cards do not expire. However, they are generally nonrefundable, cannot be exchanged for cash except where required by law, and cannot be used to purchase additional gift cards.
A Fandango movie-ticket gift card is not necessarily the same as a Fandango streaming gift card. Verify the card’s terms before purchasing or attempting to redeem it.
Digital Movie Codes
Customers can redeem qualifying digital-copy codes included with eligible DVDs and Blu-ray discs through Fandango’s code-redemption section.
A code may be rejected when:
- It was entered incorrectly
- It has expired
- It was already redeemed
- The disc was purchased used
- The code was obtained from an unauthorized seller
- The code belongs to another retailer or studio platform
- The customer is using the wrong account
Keep the physical disc, original packaging, receipt, and code insert until the digital copy appears correctly.
Fandango may remove digital titles obtained through unauthorized or improperly transferred codes.
Vudu Disc to Digital
Fandango continues to provide a Disc to Digital program for eligible DVDs and Blu-ray discs. The program converts qualifying physical discs into digital licenses for a fee.
Fandango’s current streaming policy limits Disc to Digital conversions to 100 titles per calendar year.
Not every disc is eligible. Availability depends on the studio, title, edition, barcode, account, geographic location, and program requirements.
The customer must legitimately own the physical disc. Codes, scans, or conversions obtained through unauthorized sellers may be rejected or removed.
Parental Controls and Purchase Restrictions
Fandango streaming accounts include parental-control options that can restrict content based on ratings and other available information.
Customers can also require a passcode before purchases are completed.
Parents and guardians should:
- Set an account purchase passcode.
- Review the allowed content rating.
- Do not share the main account password with children.
- Review stored payment methods.
- Check purchase history regularly.
- Use device-level restrictions in addition to Fandango settings.
No parental-control system can guarantee that a child will never access unwanted content, particularly when passwords or device controls are shared.
Unauthorized Purchases or Account Access
When an unfamiliar transaction appears:
- Review the Fandango purchase history.
- Check whether another household member used the account.
- Change the account password.
- Review authorized devices.
- Enable or change the purchase passcode.
- Remove an unfamiliar payment method.
- Report the transaction to Fandango streaming support.
- Notify the payment provider when necessary.
Do not immediately delete the account before saving the purchase history and support records. Account deletion may make investigating the transaction more difficult.
How to Delete a Vudu or Fandango Streaming Account
Fandango instructs customers who want to delete a streaming account to email [streamsupport@fandango.com](mailto:streamsupport@fandango.com).
Before requesting deletion:
- Confirm that the correct account is being deleted.
- Review the digital library.
- Save receipts and purchase records.
- Resolve pending billing disputes.
- Disconnect Movies Anywhere when appropriate.
- Understand that deletion may remove access to purchased content.
Closing a streaming account is not necessarily the same as closing a Fandango movie-ticketing account.

- Document the issue. Save receipts, screenshots, error messages, order confirmations, and previous support responses.

- The account email address
