In the window that appears, go into General | Video Carousel | Uncheck "Show Video Carousel" and click OK:

This technique does not work for the latest version of Messenger. Microsoft needs to re-introduce the general tab and even the option to turn it off in order to allow this again.
If you still like to have the Video Carousel off, stick with an older version of Messenger. Do not upgrade.
