How to add a video as wallpaper on your Android mobile

Customization in Android is one of the aspects that users of the Google operating system like the most. Thanks to the different launchers that we can find in the app store, we can change even the smallest detail of our phone. In this way, no matter how long we use the same device, it will always look new.

Wallpapers are a very personal thing. Some people like to change it every day (even several times a day).There are also ones for all tastes. We can even put moving wallpapers. Yes: thanks to some of the applications that we find in the Play Store, we can place a video clip as wallpaper. Do you want to know how it is done? It is very simple. Just pick up your phone and keep reading.

First: Download Video Live Wallpaper

To be able to place a video as wallpaper on your Android phone we need an application called Video Live Wallpaper. We can find it for free at this link in the Play Store application store. The application does not have any cost, although it does include that we can unlock it by making a small payment of 1.20 euros. Once downloaded, we proceed to install it.

Second: getting to know the Video Live Wallpaper app

We open the Video Live Wallpaper application on our phone. The interface of this application is not at all attractive, although it is functional for what we want to do.We find a single screen divided into rows with different sections. We are interested in the first of all: Choose Video Click on it. We allow the application access to our internal content. If not, the app will not be able to examine the videos we have stored.

On the next screen we can see all the videos compatible with the application and that we can place as wallpaper. If you don't have any and want to get some for your device, read on.

Third: downloading video clips

One of the pages where we can find small video clips compatible with Video Live Wallpaper is Gfycat. Also in this Reddit subforum you can get very good moving wallpapers.We recommend that you open this page directly on your mobile phone. To download them, generally, you must hold down the video while it is playing and click on 'Download video'. Generally, the videos that look best as wallpaper are those recorded vertically, so that they better fit the shape of our mobile. However, you can download videos horizontally: the application itself 'crops' to adjust the video to your mobile.

Fourth: we are going to place the wallpaper

Now again we open the Video Live Wallpaper application. We choose, again, the first option that appears. Then, all the videos that we have downloaded will appear. Choose one and press the upper right icon, right next to the shopping cart. Then, tap on 'Set wallpaper' or the settings icon.In this icon we can choose that the phone shows us the entire wallpaper, although it will appear deformed, we can ask it not to mute the video (in case it has sound) or edit the video so that it only shows an extract of it as background screen.

What is the main drawback of this type of wallpaper? Well, you are going to spend more battery than with a static one. Worth? We already leave that to your choice. We also advise you to search the Internet in search of the perfect background. Your phone will never be the same again with these videos as wallpaper
