How to change app icons on macOS
There are lots of reasons you may want to change the icon of an app on macOS. Maybe the developer recently changed one of the icons and you don't like it as much as the old one. Perhaps you've got a great idea for a new themed appearance that you'd like to make. Whatever the reason, we can help show you the easiest way to change your icons.
We're not going to teach you how to make your own icons, as that can be an involved process. However, if you want to find ready-made icons, you can check out our favorite resources in our Customize your iOS 14 Home Screen article — they'll work just the same.
Important : You can only change the icon of third-party apps, such as Google Chrome, Slack, Photoshop, etc. You cannot change the app icon for Apple-related apps, such as Messages, Calendar, Music, and Podcasts.
How to change an app icon on macOS
- Find an image you would like to use for your App icon and save it to your desktop. Square PNG and JPG files work the best.
- Open Finder
- Click Applications
- Right click on the app whose icon you'd like to change
- Select Get Info
- Right-click the desired icon image on your desktop
- Select Open With
- Select Preview
- While in Preview navigate to the top navigation bar
- Navigate back to the app's Get Info window
- Click the small icon at the top left of the window (see above image)
- Press Command + V on your keyboard
- Close the Get Info window
- Close the app, and if needed, clear it from your dock
- Reopen your app
Important: You must copy the image you wish to use from Preview, as merely left-clicking on the icon and copying it from your desktop will insert macOS's default placeholder image file.
Of course, if you change your mind, you can always reset the app icon to the ones the developer intended you to use, as well.
How to reset an app icon on macOS
- Right click on the icon you'd like to change
- Click the small icon at the top of the window
- Tap the Delete key on your keyboard
Of course, these aren't the only icons you can change, either. If you'd like, you can easily change the icons for folders this way, too.

Customize Safari on Mac with this Ultimate Guide
For most Mac owners, Safari is the gateway to the World Wide Web. Given that it’s probably your most used application, knowing tips, tricks and new features is the best way to get the most out of it. While Safari does not have the extension libraries of Chrome, it still has a few tricks up its sleeve for Mac owners. Read on to learn how to customize Safari on your Mac.
1. Pin Tabs
You probably visit a couple of sites on a regular basis, and keeping them close can make it easy to refer back to them. When a tab is pinned in Safari, it stays docked as the farthest-left tab. Pinning a tab is incredibly easy: right-click on any open tab and select “Pin Tab.” Rearranging pinned tabs is as easy as dragging the tabs around one another until you have a setup you prefer.
2. Mute Tabs
We have all been there as you open a new tab expecting to read new content and are instead hit with an auto-play video. In Safari, when a new tab is opened with audio playing, you’ll see a little speaker icon in the tab. Click the speaker icon, and it will automatically mute the tab.
3. Rearrange Tabs
For anyone who has more than a few tabs open at a time, organization can become an issue. To help with this, Safari enables you to get at least some semblance of order.
1. Open the “Window” menu on the Mac bar.
2. Choose “Arrange Tabs By.”
3. You can now choose between “Title” and “Website.”
For many, choosing to sort by website will be the most useful. That way, if you have multiple tabs open, they will all be next to each other.
4. Customize Safari Toolbar
The Safari toolbar is where your most important buttons will go for daily use. That includes your Home button, Sidebar, Tab overview, and so on.
1. Right-click anywhere on the toolbar and select “Customize Toolbar.” You can then drag any item into the toolbar.
2. Once you have dragged all of the icons you want to use, click “Done.” Then, all of your changes will be saved.
5. Change Your Search Engine
Safari, like most browsers, will let you choose between a few different default search engines. Google is the default search engine in Safari, but it’s not your only available option.
1. Go to “Safari -> Preferences” and open the Preferences window.
2. Click the “Search” tab.
3. You will immediately see a drop-down that allows you to choose between Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ecosia, or DuckDuckGo.
At this time, there is no way to add your own search engine. For now, Safari has chosen to add the most popular options.
6. Save Pages as PDFs
If you ever need to export a website as a PDF, Safari makes it super simple. Head to the page you want to save, then click on File and “Export as PDF.”
The last remaining step is to choose where on your hard-drive you want to save the page. You can then refer to the PDF at any time, and it will automatically open in Safari, Preview or your PDF viewer of choice.
7. Handoff Continuity
As Safari is the default browser for iOS and Mac, Apple has long explored how to make it seamless between the two systems. Enter Handoff , Apple’s solution for starting an email on Mac and picking it up on iOS. This also works incredibly well with Safari.
1. Start by signing in to your iCloud account on both devices.
2. On your Mac computer, go to “System Preferences -> General,” and click on the box next to Handoff to allow it.
3. On iOS or iPad OS, go to “Settings -> Handoff” and move the switch so that it’s active.
4. Once activated, you can go about your regular browsing business on your Mac. When you want to pick up wherever you left off on your Mac on your iPhone or iPad, a little icon will appear above your Safari icon. Tap on Safari and it will allow you to select whatever page you want to continue browsing.

8. Reading List
Bookmarks were yesterday’s news. Today, it’s all about Safari’s Reading List. We have all come across interesting articles that we want to read but don’t have time at the moment. Across all Apple devices, Reading List is enabled via the Sidebar icon on Safari on Mac or by using the book icon on Safari on iOS/iPadOS. You can choose the eyeglasses icon to view your entire article list. To add a new article, you have two options on Mac.
1. The first is to hit the “+” sign that appears next to the website URL. The article or site will automatically save itself to your reading list.
2. Alternatively, you can click on the Share Sheet icon, and the first option in the drop-down is “Add to Reading List.” Select that and the article will automatically save itself to your Reading List.
If you want to read these articles offline, say while you are on a plane, go to “Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced” and click on “Save articles for offline reading automatically.”
9. Safari Reader
Safari Reader strips away all of the distractions from any site where it’s available, allowing for an uninterrupted view of your chosen content. Note that it does not work on every website but definitely works on many.
1. To activate Reader, click on the four-line icon that appears next to the “+” button to the left of the URL.
2. A single press of that button will enable Reader view. Clicking on it again will take you out of reader view.
10. Set Custom Safari Icon
If you want to customize your Safari icon, doing so is surprisingly straightforward.
1. While holding down the Ctrl button, click the Safari logo and select “Options -> Show in Finder.”
2. When Finder loads, you’ll find yourself on the Applications page. Click the Safari logo again while holding Ctrl and choose “Get Info.”
to the top-left corner of the Get Info window, you’ll see a tiny Safari icon next to “Safari.app”. Click on it to highlight it, then drag your replacement icon image to replace it.
11. Customize Safari Theme
When you first use Safari on your Mac, you’ll see the standard white and grey interface. This is fine, but it can get a little boring for some users. Fortunately, you can customize your Safari theme in several ways.
Change to Dark Mode
For instance, you can change your browser to show dark mode.
1. Go to the Apple icon in the top left of your toolbar and choose “System Preferences … ” in the drop-down.
2. Select “General.”
At the top of the next window, you’ll see the “Appearance” option. Click on “Dark.”
Change Safari’s Background Image
Another way you can customize Safari’s theme is by tweaking the background image on your homepage.
1. Click on the “+” button in the top right of your Safari browser to open a new page.
2. Select the icon showing three lines with sliders in the bottom-right corner.
3. Make sure the box next to “Background Image” is ticked. Then, choose from one of the custom background images beneath it.
In addition to using the background images included with Safari, you can add your own. Click the “+” icon instead of one of the other images.
Choose the picture you want to have as your background image for Safari.
Once you’ve picked your image, you should see the changes take place immediately.
If you want to clear your background later, you can click on the screen while holding the Ctrl button and choose “Clear Background.”
12. Customize Safari Homepage
Once you’ve customized the theme of Safari, you can fine tune the homepage.
When you see your “Frequently Visited” section, all pages in this area will initially appear as smaller versions of the actual web pages. However, you can make them show up as icons again.
1. Click on one of the pages while holding down the Ctrl button.
2. Select “View as Icons.”
You can also remove some of your Favorites from view. As with changing the “Frequently Visited” pages to icons, click on one of the pages and simultaneously hold the Ctrl button. Select “Delete” from the dropdown menu, and your changes will take effect.
13. Create Custom Bookmark Folders
When customizing Safari on your Mac, you’ll want to think about productivity and not just aesthetics. One of the best ways to organize your most-visited pages is by creating custom bookmark folders to put all of them in.
1. Click on the icon in the top left that sits next to the red, yellow, and green circles.
2. On the bookmark tab, click anywhere while holding Ctrl .
3. Select New Folder and give it a name.
4. Drag to add pages to this folder.
14. Customize Safari Location
Like your iPhone, your Mac can easily track where you are in the world. It uses this for several reasons, such as changing the date and time on your device.
However, websites can also track you – and some users may want them to do so. If you don’t want specific sites knowing where you are in Safari, follow these steps:
1. Click on “Safari” next to the Apple logo and choose “Preferences … ” from the drop-down.
2. Go through your currently open websites and choose whether you want to allow or deny access.
You can also block future visited websites from tracking you. Go to the bottom where it says “When visiting other websites.” If you want to revoke permission, open the drop-down and select “Deny.”

Frequently Asked Questions
1. can i change the color of the safari browser.
Besides tweaking from light to dark mode, you can’t customize Safari’s color on your Mac without third-party software.
2. Can I change my Mac’s default browser?
Yes. To change your Mac’s default browser, go to “System Preferences -> General -> Default Web Browser.” Open the drop-down and change to the browser of your choice.
3. Why won’t my Safari icon change on my Mac?
In some cases, you may find that the Safari icon on your Mac doesn’t change. You may need to close and reopen the app. If that doesn’t work, try changing the “Read & Write” privileges on your device.
Wrapping Up
Safari is one of the most important native Apple apps, and customizing it will both let you show off your personality and improve productivity. The above tips to customize Safari are only the tip of the iceberg. Don’t forget that you can also add extensions to extend its functionality .

How to refresh website favicons in Safari on Mac
A favicon is the small website logo you see in your browser tab. The ability to see favicons for websites in Safari is convenient. It lets you spot the site you want at a glance by seeing just the icon on your tab, in your bookmark list, and in your history.
But have you ever noticed favicons that go missing or are incorrect, showing the wrong icon? You can “refresh” the website favicons in Safari on Mac in just a few steps, and here, we’ll show you how.
Delete Safari’s favicon cache
If you’re experiencing favicons that aren’t right, maybe they have icons for different websites; clearing the cache and starting over is a good option. Here’s how to do that:
1) Close and quit Safari .
2) Using Finder, click Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar
3) Enter ~/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache/ in the pop-up window and go to this location.
4) Select all items in the cache folder and move them to the Trash . You can select all with the keyboard shortcut Command + A and then drag them to your Trash or right-click and pick Move to Trash.
5) Empty your Trash or delete those items from it. (For help with both options, check out our tutorial on How to Empty Trash on Mac .)
6) Open Safari .
The Safari favicon cache folder will rebuild itself as you visit websites. And you’ll need to visit the sites you have saved for the favicons to appear. But those that were incorrect or missing should show up correctly.

Alternative option
If you’d rather try something else, there is one other option that may or may not work.
Open the website with the incorrect favicon in a private window in Safari. You can do this easily by right-clicking Safari in your Dock and selecting New Private Window or selecting File > New Private Window from the menu bar.
Visit the website in the private window, and when you return to your non-private Safari, the favicon may be correct.
The suggestion comes from the Apple Community Forum . This method did not work for the user with the question, nor did it work for me; however, it’s worth a try if you’d like.
Enabling favicons in Safari
As a reminder, you can enable favicons in Safari on older versions of macOS by following these simple steps:
1) With Safari open, click Safari > Preferences from the menu bar.
2) Select the Tabs tab.
3) Check the box for Show website icons in tabs to enable favicons.
Hopefully, either rebuilding the Safari favicon cache or opening a specific site in a private window works for you. And if you have another method to refresh favicons in Safari that works for you, please share it in the comments below!

Safari Favorites Icons Missing? 7 Ways to Get Them Back
If you buy through affiliate links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Full Disclosure Here…
Safari favorites icons, or favicons, are a celebrated convenience that allows you to quickly see the website you want in history, bookmarks, or tabs. Unfortunately, these favicons tend to appear incorrectly or go missing. This article shows you how to get back missing favorite icons on your Mac.
If you notice that your Safari favorites icons are missing , clearing your cache and restarting Safari is the fastest way to get them back . There is another alternative way of opening the affected website in a private Safari window; I will look at it in detail later in the article.
How to Find Safari Favorites Icons Missing?
- Method 1: Clear Safari favorites icons cache
Method 2: Use Safari Private Window
Method 3: create new user, method 4: verify your preferences, method 5: restore items from time machine, method 6: download updates.
- Method 7: Use the safe mode
In Conclusion
If the favorites icons are missing in Safari on your Mac, try going to “Safari” > “Preferences” > “Tabs” and check the box next to “Show website icons in tabs.” If this doesn’t solve the issue, try resetting the Safari browser by going to “Safari” > “Reset Safari” and selecting the appropriate options. If the issue persists, try restarting your Mac or updating the operating system.
How to bring back Safari Favorites Icons
When Apple first introduced the favicon feature on Safari, most people unsurprisingly jumped on it enthusiastically. The convenience of quickly locating your favorite website on a tab or bookmark list was too good to pass up. Precious seconds are saved by that little image appearing in the history list of the Safari browser, while not seeing it can put some people off whatever they are doing on the internet. Even though the Safari favorites icon appears distorted or missing, we’re here to tell you that you can quickly recover the icon by following a few simple steps on your MacBook.
Method 1: Clear Safari favorites icons cache
Clearing the Safari favorites icons cache and starting over is the universal way of solving the problem of incorrect and missing favicons on your computer. Follow the steps below to get your favorite icons back.
- Shut or quit Safari.
- Go to Finder on your Mac.
- Next, click on Go, then select Go To Folder on the visible menu.
- A pop-up menu will appear, and you will need to type in/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache/
- Once you’ve typed that in, you need to click on Go.
- You must send all the items in the folder on your screen to Trash. Pressing the Command and the A key simultaneously selects all the files in the folder, then you can drag them to the trash. You can also right-click the files and select Move To Trash on the menu that appears on the screen.
- Empty the entire trash or delete the items from the favicon cache folder only. The simplest way to empty your trash is by right-clicking the trash icon on your dock and selecting Empty Trash.
- Open your Safari browser again and visit your saved sites.
The incorrect or distorted images should appear correctly. The favicon cache rebuilds itself as you visit your saved sites. However, in rare cases, some alternatives might help. I’ll now look at some of the methods that you can use. Feel free to try them all, as none take a long time to complete.

There is no guarantee that this alternative method will work, but it is worth a try if clearing the favicon cache is not working or if you prefer not to use it. Safari has a private window that does not store browsing history, and you can use this feature to try and refresh your favicons.
- Right-click on Safari in the Dock
- Select New Private Window
- Visit the site with the incorrect or missing favicons
- Close Private Window
The favicons should return to normal working conditions after this. You can try these further steps in the Private Window.
- Select Preferences and click on Privacy on the Safari menu
- Click on Manage Website Data, and a list of sites will appear
- Choose the site that is causing issues and click on Remove
- Click on Done to finish the process
- Go back to the non-private window and open the website again.
Your Mac should be able to rebuild the favicon cache on its own. If you know your way around the device, you can manually make another favicon cache folder, but this is not a recommended route. It is better to contact the Apple Support center.
If you continue having issues with favicons, create a new user on your Mac. This method has worked for others on the Apple Community Forum , where users try to help each other solve various challenges with Mac. One user managed to retrieve all the missing favicons using this method.
- Select System Preferences (System Settings on macOS Ventura and above) on your menu and click Users & Groups
- Click on Add at the bottom of the dialogue box.
- Choose the type of user, preferably the Administrator.
- Enter the name of the new user and a password.
- Click on Add User.
The first time you open Safari under the new user profile, favicons should all work perfectly. \

The Mac has a preference setting that allows tabs to display icons when you’re on Safari. Check that your preferences are set correctly by following these simple steps.
- Open Safari
- Click on Safari in the menu bar
- Select Preferences
- Click on Tabs, and a list of preferences will show up
- Tick the box allowing website icons to be shown.
The image below shows the box that you should tick. You can try doing this a couple of times while restarting your device. Try this method several times, restarting your device each time.
If you use Time Machine to backup files, then you can use it to retrieve files and items. The good thing about Time Machine is that it works with almost all Mac apps. Here is a reminder of how to open Time Machine and retrieve files and items.
- Click on the Time Machine icon. If the icon is not there, go to System Preferences (System Settings on macOS Ventura and above) and click Time Machine on the Apple menu.
- Click on Show Time Machine in the menu bar to browse backups and local snapshots.
- Use the arrows to look through your missing files and items. When you see the files you need, click Restore.
You can restore all the files at once or one by one. When restored, the files return to the original folder. Remember, you need to have already set your device to back up to the Time Machine for this method to work perfectly.

Your Safari favorites icons missing challenge can also be solved by updating your device. The macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Combo update fixes issues that prevent files from syncing with iCloud and resolves graphics. You can download this update and see if the problem is solved.
Follow these steps to download software updates on your Mac.
- Open the Apple menu and choose System Preferences (System Settings on macOS Ventura and above).
- Click on Software Update.
- Open the Software Update preferences for the Safari folder.
You can also find a list of available updates in the Apple Store or set your device to check for software updates in the System Preferences (System Settings on macOS Ventura and above) automatically. However, for this particular issue of missing favicons, the Catalina 10.15.7 Combo update should be able to help.
Method 7: Use the safe mode
One way of solving issues on your Mac is to restart it in safe mode. The safe mode allows your device to start and run with limited functionality as you try and solve specific issues. You must determine if your device uses Apple silicon, then follow these steps.
- Shut down your Mac device.
- Turn on your Mac and hold the power tab until the startup options window appears.
- Choose the startup disk.
- Click the Continue in Safe Mode tab while holding down the shift key.
- Log in, and if asked to, do it again.
If your device uses the Intel processor, follow the instructions below.
- Turn on the Mac
- Press and hold the shift key immediately

Always keep your Mac device updated, as this helps solve issues before they arise. Clearing your favicon cache is the simplest and fastest way of retrieving your missing favicon. If it does not work, you should get joy from the other methods mentioned above. As a last resort, reinstall the operating system. None of your data is removed by reinstalling macOS. Click on the Reinstall macOS tab in the Utilities window and follow the instructions to complete the process.
Do not close the lid on your Mac until the reinstallation process is finished. Your device will load all the latest software updates and be as good as new. Besides everything I have covered here, you can also contact Apple support and get help.
Favicons provide a convenient way of quickly identifying websites on tabs, bookmark lists, and browser history. For those using the internet for work, favicons save valuable time and energy since you do not have to type the first few letters of sites to get where you want to be.

How to Find Missing Safari Icon on iPhone or iPad
By: Waseem Patwegar | June 19, 2023
It can be quite frustrating to find Safari browser missing on iPhone, just when you wanted to look for something on the internet. You can find below the steps to fix the issue of Missing Safari Icon on iPhone or iPad.
Safari Disappeared from iPhone Home Screen
When Safari Icon disappears from the Home screen on iPhone, most users start thinking about the possibility of the Safari App being accidentally deleted by them or by someone with access to their device.
However, this is never the case as Apple prevents users from deleting essential Apps and Safari happens to be one of the most essential native Apps that cannot be deleted from an Apple device.
In most cases, the problem of Missing Safari Icon ends up being due to the Safari App being accidentally moved to one of the Home Screens or being hidden in a Folder on the App Library screen.
A less common reason for Safari Icon missing or disappearing from the Home screen on iPhone or iPad is due to the Safari App being restricted by Screen Time Settings.
1. Check All Home Screens & Folders
As mentioned above, the most common reason for Safari Icon missing on iPhone or iPad is due to the Safari App being accidentally moved to another Home Screen or a Folder.
Hence, the first step would be to carefully go through all the Home screens on your device and look for Safari App. Also, go through all Folders and make sure that Safari Icon is not hiding in a Folder on your device.
2. Search For Safari Browser On iPhone
Follow the steps below to ask your iPhone to look for the Missing Safari App Icon.
1. Bring up the Search bar on the Home screen of your iPhone ( Swipe down or Swipe left , depending on the model of your iPhone).
2. Type Safari in the Search bar and this should bring up Safari App in the search results.
3. Tap & Hold the Safari Icon , drag it upwards slightly and release the finger to place Safari Icon back on the Home Screen of your device.
Note: Even if Safari App is hidden in a Folder, you will see the name of the Folder in which the Safari App Icon is hidden on your device.
3. Look For Safari in App Library
If you had accidentally removed Safari from the Home screen, it should be available in the App Library on your iPhone.
1. Swipe Left on the Home screen of your iPhone, until you reach the App Library screen.
2. On App Library screen, type Safari in the Search bar and you should find Safari appearing in the Search results.
3. Once Safari appears in the search results, tap and hold on Safari Icon and select Add to Home Screen option.
This should immediately bring the Safari Icon back on the Home Screen of your device.
4. Unhide Home Screen
Another possibility is that you may have accidentally moved Safari to another Home screen and also hidden that Home Screen.
1. Tap & Hold on the Dots located on the Home Screen of your iPhone.
2. Look for Safari Icon in the Thumbnails and tap below the Thumbnail that contains the Safari Icon (if it does not have the check mark).
3. This will unhide the Screen containing Safari Icon and you will find Safari back on the Home screen of your iPhone.
5. Reset Home Screen
An easy way to get native Apps like Safari back to their default position on the Home screen of iPhone or iPad is to Reset the Home Screen.
1. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone and tap the Reset option.
2. On the Reset Screen, select Reset Home Screen Layout option.
As mentioned above, resetting the Home Screen should bring back the Safari Icon to its usual position on the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
6. Disable Restrictions on Safari App
You may have accidentally or intentionally placed restrictions on Safari App, in order to prevent the possibility of your children accessing the internet and using up all your data.
1. Open Settings > Go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps .
2. On Allowed Apps screen, move the toggle next to Safari to ON position.
Note: If you are using Screen Time Passcode , you will be prompted to enter Screen Time Passcode.

MrHoffman had it mostly right. It’s a “handoff” And it’s under the “General” settings: “Airplay and ‘Handoff’” where there’s a switch to toggle “Handoff” on or off.

Safari's Hidden Picture-in-Picture Mode Is a Mac Game-Changer
This hidden MacOS feature lets you watch videos in a floating window while you browse the web.
You can watch videos while using different apps on your Mac.
Your Mac computer has many hidden multitasking tools built-in. Hot corners make it easy to quickly run system actions with your mouse, while keyboard shortcuts do the same, but with your keyboard, of course. Split screen lets you use multiple apps at once and widgets let you keep an eye on weather, sports scores and more on your home screen.
There are just so many productivity features to discover on MacOS, and there's one in Safari you really need to know about.
Picture-in-Picture mode on Mac allows you to shrink any video you're watching in Safari, whether it's on YouTube or Twitch, and create a floating window you can move around your screen. That way, you can visit other websites and use other applications, while you continue to watch.
There are several ways to enable PiP, which I'll show you below.
PiP is one of the more underrated features on the Mac. Want to learn more about others? Check out these Command keyboard shortcuts on MacOS and the hidden Hello screensaver . You should also read about 10 Mac tips and tricks you probably didn't know about .
Safari's PiP button is hidden in the address bar
If a video is playing in Safari, go to the address bar at the top of the window, right-click the blue audio button to the right of the website URL in the address bar and click Enter Picture in Picture . The video will then automatically move to a floating window.
You can also mute the tab and configure auto-play settings from here.
The floating window playing the video will appear above all other open applications, including Safari, and will snap into any of the four corners of your desktop. You can adjust the size by hovering the mouse over the window's borders and corners and then clicking and dragging to make it bigger or smaller.
The window also has two buttons: One to pause/play the video and the other to snap the floating window back into the web browser. You can also just close the floating window with the X button on the top left.
The floating video window can be moved and resized across your desktop.
There are two other ways to enable Picture in Picture on MacOS
If you don't see the blue audio button in the address bar or have multiple videos playing in Safari, there are two other ways to use Picture in Picture.
The first is by clicking the PiP button in the video's playback controls. Not every video player will have the PiP button, so you're limited in use. The PiP button appears as two rectangles with an arrow pointing from one to the other, but you can also just hover your mouse over the various buttons to find the Open Picture in Picture mode option.
You'll find Picture in Picture between the AirPlay and Full Screen buttons on YouTube.
If you don't see a PiP button, you can right-click the video and see if you get an Enter Picture in Picture option. On YouTube, you have to right-click twice to get the correct menu, but you may only need to right-click once on other websites to find the PiP setting.
You can also use this menu to enter full screen and show the video player's controls.

Outlook and other apps are unable to connect to Outlook.com when using Basic authentication
Last Updated: February 27, 2024
Users signing into Outlook.com through Basic authentication may experience recurring password prompts in Outlook and other third-party email applications. This is a known issue. We have taken actions to protect our customers and mitigate their risk to the increase in bad actors trying to gain access to their accounts.
For many years, applications have used Basic authentication to connect to servers, services, and API endpoints. Basic authentication simply means the application sends a username and password with every request, and those credentials are also often stored or saved on the device. Traditionally, Basic authentication is enabled by default on most servers or services, and is simple to set up. While Basic authentication was the standard at the time, Basic authentication makes it easier for attackers to capture user credentials, which increases the risk of those stolen credentials being reused against other endpoints or services.
Basic authentication is an outdated industry standard. Threats posed by it have only increased with time and we have already deprecated Basic authentication across numerous products. (For more information, see Improving Security - Together. ) There are better and more effective user authentication alternatives.
In the coming months, we will be working to fully remove support for Basic authentication from Outlook.com, and only rely on OAuth (also known as Modern authentication). While we understand that this experience is frustrating, we are ultimately trying to protect our customers and the safety of their accounts. OAuth has become the industry standard, and Microsoft and Outlook have long supported it. Many third-party email applications have also adopted OAuth.
Microsoft will communicate timelines and a more detailed plan to retire Basic authentication in Outlook.com in the near future; however, we did want to provide details and guidance about how users can move from Basic authentication to OAuth which should eliminate the increased number of authentication prompts they may be seeing.
Recommended User Actions:
For users having problems connecting to their Outlook.com email, here are the ways they can update their accounts to use OAuth for authentication.
If you use Outlook for Windows:
Outlook supports OAuth in all current Microsoft 365 subscription SKUs and Outlook 2021 LTSC (any SKU with build 11601.10000 or higher) when connecting directly as Outlook.com. If your Outlook is configured to connect to Outlook.com using POP or IMAP, OAuth is not supported. This means that when Basic authentication is fully deprecated, it will no longer connect. For this scenario, you have a few options:
Option 1: Switch to Outlook.com/Exchange Syncing – Instead of using POP/IMAP and SMTP, create a new Outlook Desktop profile and then add your Outlook.com account using automatic account configuration, which will add the account with OAuth. To do this, please use the following guidance:
Create a new Outlook Desktop profile, Create an Outlook profile.
Add your Outlook.com account, Add an email account to Outlook .
Option 2: Get a newer Outlook email app which supports OAuth – If your Outlook client does not support OAuth, you will need to upgrade to the latest version and then setup using Outlook.com Sync. You can either purchase a new Outlook License, use the Outlook that is included in your Microsoft 365 subscription, or download the New Outlook for Windows for free .
The following versions of Outlook Desktop do not support OAuth for Outlook.com: Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016 MSI, Outlook 2019 LTSC. Any release of Outlook Desktop with a version less than 11601.10000 does not support OAuth for Outlook.com.
Outlook apps are available for free and can be downloaded directly from the Microsoft Store on Windows, the Mac App Store , iOS App Store , or the Google Play Store .
After your download the new email app, add your accounts and they will all be configured to use OAuth and sync properly, helping keep them safe.
If you use Mozilla Thunderbird:
Mozilla Thunderbird does support OAuth and it is recommended that you ensure you switch to use those settings. Any account that you add to Thunderbird will now automatically setup using the proper settings. You have the following options.
Option 1: Update Current Settings
Change Thunderbird's server settings:
Select ≡ > Account Settings .
In the left pane, select Server Settings for your O utlook.com or H otmail.com account.
Change Thunderbird's authentication method for sending messages (SMTP):
In the left pane, select Outgoing Server (SMTP) .
Select OK to save your changes.
Option 2: Remove Current Account and Re-Add
If you remove your current account from Thunderbird and then re-add it, the proper settings will be detected, and you will just need to sign in to be properly configured with OAuth and the proper server settings.
If you use Apple Mail:
Apple Mail supports OAuth by default when you setup the account as Outlook.com. If you use Apple Mail and you are seeing password prompts or connection errors, this is most likely happening because your account got configured as basic auth. To mitigate the issue, remove the account and add it back as Outlook.com.
Remove your account from Apple Mail :
Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts .
Tap the email account you want to remove from your iPhone, then tap Delete Account. For more information, please go to Add and remove email accounts on iPhone .
Add your account back to Apple Mail :
Go to Settings > Mail .
Tap Accounts , then tap Add Account .
If removing and re-adding the account does not address the issue, do the following :
Remove the account again.
Go to Settings > Safari , then tap Clear History and Website Data .
Reboot your iPhone.
Add the account back and proceed through the Outlook.com account sign in flow .
If you use another email application:
Always check the add account steps to look for Outlook.com and use it if that option is available. If Outlook.com is not an option, you will want to contact the application's support to confirm that they support OAuth against EAS, POP, IMAP, and SMTP. If they do not, you will be able to continue using Basic Auth until we announce our final deprecation dates. However, you may experience increased login prompts as we work to protect accounts.
As a reminder, all users can download Outlook for free and it works with most email services. Outlook can be downloaded directly from the Microsoft Store on Windows, the Mac App Store , iOS App Store , or the Google Play Store.
