With the introduction of “Smart Motion Preview” on videos viewed on Bing.com, Microsoft has gone one-up against Google. You compare both and you will find that Smart Motion Preview on Bing offers you a quick preview of the video you were hovering on, a feature that is not available with Google. With this short preview of not more than 30 seconds you are ensuring yourself that you don’t really have to click on it to see what it is, just take a preview and then decide whether you want to click or not.
This feature is really simple to use even if you are not a regular user of Bing. For instance you are searching for a particular video on Bing.com and you are presented with number of videos related with your search. Not sure which one satisfies your search you can hover over them one by one and see an immediate pop out that shows you a quick video preview up to 30 seconds. So you click on the one that is most relevant to you thereby saving time in search.
