If you’re looking to add some life to your Android device’s background, setting a video as a live wallpaper is a great way to do it. While most live wallpaper apps offer an array of pre-made options, there are few options that allow you to set your own videos or GIFs as live wallpapers. However, thanks to third-party apps, you can easily set your own videos as live wallpapers on your Android device.
Set videos as live wallpapers on your Android phone or tablet
One of the easiest apps to use for this purpose is Video to Wallpaper. Here are the steps you can follow to set a video as a live wallpaper using this app:
- Install the Video to Wallpaper app from the Google Play Store.
- Open the app and tap the “+” icon on the bottom right to add a new video.
- Choose the video from your device’s internal storage.
- The selected wallpaper will appear on the app’s homescreen, and you’ll have to tap on the Apply button underneath it.
- Select Video to Wallpaper on the following page.
- Tap on the Set Wallpaper button to apply the wallpaper to your homescreen and/or lockscreen based on your selection.
With this app, you can easily switch between your selected live wallpapers, as they will all appear on the app’s homescreen.
For Samsung Galaxy users, you can set a video as the wallpaper on the lockscreen by following these steps:
- Open the video you want to set as wallpaper in the Gallery app.
- Tap on the three-dot menu button in the bottom right corner.
- Select the Set as Wallpaper option in the menu.
- Tap on the Lock screen option to set the video as the wallpaper on the lock screen.
- Crop your video if it’s longer than 15 seconds in the next step.
- Tap on the Set on Lock screen button to apply the wallpaper.
Unfortunately, this method won’t let you set a video as a live wallpaper on the homescreen. You’ll still need to use a third-party app for that purpose.
Apart from Video to Wallpaper, there are other apps that you can use for setting videos as live wallpapers on your Android device. Some of these apps include Video Live Wallpaper, KLWP Live Wallpaper Maker, and Live Wallpaper Creator. However, keep in mind that these apps might have different features and require different steps to set your video as a live wallpaper.
Wrapping Up
In conclusion, setting videos as live wallpapers on your Android device is an excellent way to personalize your device. Whether you’re using a third-party app or Samsung Galaxy’s built-in feature, it’s a fun way to showcase your favorite videos and add a dynamic touch to your device’s background.
