How to only show images, no videos on Bing homepage
Bing homepage settings control content visibility. Users can change these settings to show only images, excluding videos from the main page. This customization helps users who prefer static visuals on their Bing search engine's first screen.
Controlling Bing homepage bandwidth usage or focusing on search results without video distractions requires disabling autoplay for videos. This setting prevents videos from playing automatically on the Bing homepage.
For example, if you want to stop autoplaying videos on Bing, you can change a specific setting. This control is built into Bing’s user preferences.
You can easily adjust Bing to display only static images, making your browsing experience cleaner and faster.
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's homepage typically shows pictures and videos. Users wishing to see only images and stop videos from playing can change Bing homepage settings. These steps allow users to control what content appears on the Bing homepage.

Step 2Choose Still Images Instead of Videos
To keep Bing’s pretty homepage pictures but stop videos from playing, you can change a setting to show only still images.
- 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.
