Microsoft has announced that its innovative Bing Video Creator is now available on the Bing mobile app, effective June 2, 2025. This exciting development brings the power of AI video generation to your fingertips, allowing you to create short, engaging videos directly from your Android or iPhone device, completely free.
Powered by OpenAI’s impressive Sora model, Bing Video Creator on mobile makes it easier than ever to turn your text prompts into dynamic visuals. This is particularly noteworthy because accessing Sora’s capabilities directly, for instance, if it were available through a ChatGPT Plus subscription, typically costs around $20 per month, or a Pro subscription could be significantly more. The Bing mobile integration, therefore, offers a fantastic opportunity for users to experience this cutting-edge video generation technology without any subscription fees.
How to Get Started:
Creating videos with the new mobile feature is straightforward:
- Download the Bing Mobile App: If you don’t already have it, head to your app store and download the Bing mobile app for your Android or iPhone.
- Access Video Creator: Open the app, tap the menu icon (typically in the bottom right corner), and select the “Video Creator” icon. Alternatively, you can type “Create a video of…” directly into the Bing mobile app search bar for quick access.
- Describe Your Vision: In the prompt box, type a description of the video you want to create. Microsoft advises that the best prompts include additional context, description, and detail to help the AI understand your vision.
- Create and Enjoy: Click “Create” and let the AI work its magic!
Currently, the videos generated are 5-second clips and are created in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio, perfect for social media stories. Support for the horizontal 16:9 format is also expected to be available soon.
Important Details:
- Cost & Access to Sora: Bing Video Creator on mobile is free to use, providing a great way to try out video generation powered by OpenAI’s Sora model without needing a separate paid subscription, which can run $20/month for services like ChatGPT Plus or potentially $200/month for Pro-level access to similar advanced AI models.
- Creation Limits: Each user can make 10 video creations at “Fast” speed per month. After that, additional videos will be created at “Standard” speed. If you need more “Fast” speed creations, you can spend 100 Microsoft Rewards points for one additional “Fast” speed video.
While the announcement didn’t specify the full range of video types that can be created, this initial mobile release marks a significant step in making AI-powered video creation more accessible to everyone.
