How to only show images, no videos on Bing homepage
Blocking autoplay video clips on the Bing homepage locks your screen to static photos only. Bing loads a fresh daily photo and short video clip by default, which can slow down page loading times and use extra data.
Turning off video clips keeps your browser clean and stops distracting motion while you search the web. You can easily switch off these moving clips using the settings menu on the main Bing page.
- Go to Bing.com and click the gear icon in the top-right corner to open settings .
- In the settings menu, find the section related to ‘Videos and panoramas’.
- Select the option that says ‘Show a still image’ or ‘Still image only’.
- Your changes will save automatically, and your Bing homepage will now display a static image instead of videos.
Go to Bing.com, click the settings icon in the top right, then under “Videos and panoramas,” select “Show a still image” to disable videos. This will ensure only still pictures appear on your Bing homepage.
Making Your Bing Homepage Simple
Bing defaults to displaying a mix of pictures and motion clips. Adjusting preferences stops videos from playing entirely, putting control over the visual presentation back in your hands.
Step 1Find Bing Settings
Head over to bing.com using Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or whatever browser you prefer and find the gear icon in the top-right corner. Clicking that menu opens the panel required to alter layout preferences and manage visible elements.
- Open your web browser. It can be any browser like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.
- Go to the Bing website. Type
bing.cominto the address bar and press Enter. - Look for the settings menu. In the top-right corner of the Bing homepage, find an icon that looks like a gear or three horizontal lines. This is where you find settings.
- Click the settings icon. A menu will pop up. Look for options about how the homepage looks.
Step 2Choose Still Images Instead of Videos
Restricting the main screen to photography requires a specific adjustment within the options panel. Return to the ‘Videos and panoramas’ section inside the configuration menu. Selecting the option to ‘Show a still image’ ensures only static pictures load on the screen.
- Go back to the “Videos and panoramas” section in the Bing settings. If you closed the settings menu, follow Step 1 again to find it.
- Select “Show a still image.” In the “Videos and panoramas” options, find and choose the choice that says “Show a still image” or “Still image only.”
- Your change should save automatically. Your Bing homepage will now show a still picture. No videos will play.
