Hello followers! Today, we’re diving into some exciting tech news that feels almost magic — Microsoft Bing is now letting you create videos from text prompts, and it’s totally free! Let’s break it down in a fun way.
Microsoft has rolled out its new Bing Video Creator, which uses OpenAI’s Sora model to generate videos based on what you type. This innovative feature is the first of its kind available for free in the Bing app, although it’s currently not on desktop and videos can take a while to produce, even in the fastest mode. With just a Microsoft account, you can generate up to 10 clips without spending a dime.
To get your creative juices flowing, Bing allows you to queue up to three 5-second video snippets at a time. Right now, videos are vertical (9:16 ratio), perfect for sharing on TikTok or Instagram, but horizontal options are coming soon. Be prepared — it takes hours to generate some videos, which adds a touch of patience needed for high-tech art!
And guess what? You don’t need to be a tech wizard to use this. Search with Bing or make a purchase in the Microsoft Store, and you’ll earn Microsoft Rewards points, which can be redeemed for more video generation. Each search earns a few points, with a daily cap to keep things fair. Once your free limit is used up, each extra video costs 100 points — so you might want to keep those searches handy.
While the videos are currently only in a vertical format and limited in length, soon you’ll be able to upload horizontal videos too. This nifty tool seems primed for those who love sharing quick, fun AI videos across social platforms — so stay tuned for more updates as the feature develops!
