How to prevent Edge from displaying the image or video of the day

If the background image in the new tab of the Edge browser is ruining your concentration or not allowing you to focus on what's on the screen, turn off the experience. Here's how you can prevent Edge from displaying the image or video of the day.

Prevent Edge from displaying the image or video of the day

Edge Image or Video of the Day makes the browser background livelier and more lively, but it takes up the full screen to play a video or display an image at the start of a new browsing session. Some users prefer to keep the tab background plain and simple. Follow the procedure to completely disable this feature.

  1. Launch the Edge browser.
  2. Open a new tab.
  3. Open page settings.
  4. Expand the Custom tab.
  5. Uncheck the Picture or video of the day option.

Edge already lets users choose between a Bing image of the day, a custom image, or having no image at all. This new customization option does the same for the Edge browser's new tab page by helping users beautify the homepage with a video experience.

Launch the Edge browser. Make sure you are using the latest version of the Edge browser (97 or higher).

Tap the "+" icon next to the currently open tab to open a new tab in the browser. Click the Page Settings icon (visible as a gear icon in the upper right corner of the web page).

From the list of options displayed, select the Custom tab.

Scroll down to Context section. Below, look for the Image or video of the day optional.
