Bing is a web search engine created by Microsoft. You can also stream videos on Bing, similar to YouTube. Sometimes, you may find videos you want to save and watch later. Bing doesn’t allow downloading videos directly, but you can download videos from Bing using programs such as HiDownload Platinum or GetFLV.

Things You Should Know

  • Use third-party tools like HiDownload Platinum or GetFLV to download videos from Bing since downloading is not a built-in feature.
  • Basically, open the downloaded software and add the link to the video on Bing that you want to download.
  • With that link, the video will be downloaded to your computer.
