Live wallpapers may be animated GIFs that loop or fluid patterns that change the viewpoint, functioning with the device’s gyroscope to mimic actual motions. Most common operating systems natively support live wallpapers, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. In this guide, we will share “How to Apply Live Wallpaper Using a Third-Party App.”.
On Android, how to set videos as live wallpapers?
You need a third-party app like Video to Wallpaper to set videos as live wallpapers on Android. Most of you can figure it out independently because it’s so easy to use. If you have any problems, follow these instructions to use it to set any video as a live wallpaper on your phone:
- To add a new video, tap on the + icon in the bottom right corner of the app’s home page.
- Select the wallpaper from your device’s internal storage by tapping the “Choose” button in the following pop-up.
- In the following window, tap on the video of your choice. I’m using one of the leaked OnePlus 9 live wallpapers we shared earlier this month.
- On the following screen, click OK to confirm your selection.
- To proceed to the next step, you’ll need to tap the “Apply” button underneath the selected wallpaper on the app’s home screen.
- Another pop-up window will appear with instructions on how to apply wallpaper. In the window, click OK.
- On the following page, click Video to Wallpaper.
- A preview pane should now have a “Set Wallpaper” button at the bottom. The next step can be reached by tapping this button or checking the Preview option in the top right corner.
- When you tap the Set Wallpaper button, a prompt will appear asking where you want to apply the wallpaper. There are two options: one to use the wallpaper on your home screen and one to apply it to both the home screen and lock screen.
- The wallpaper can be applied using either of the two options.
The live wallpaper now appears on your lock screen and home screen, depending on your choice. You can switch the live wallpaper by doing the same actions whenever you choose. Since all of the live wallpapers you choose in step 4 will be visible on the app’s home screen, switching between them will be simple.
VideoWall
A great third-party app for making a video of your live wallpaper is VideoWall. Once you’ve installed the app, choose the video you want to use as your background.
Think about scaling up or down and, most importantly, the audio. Use a portrait-oriented film as your video wallpaper because a horizontal one might not fit properly. When you’re done configuring everything, click the “Set wallpaper” button. You can use this recently made video as your lock screen or home screen live wallpaper.
NaingDroid’s Video Live Wallpaper
In addition to the functions provided by the first two applications, the Video Live Wallpaper app allows you to cut films. After installing the programme, launch it and choose the video you want to use as your live wallpaper. Using the trim selection bar, set your video’s start and finish positions. To make the video your wallpaper, go to the top and select the “Set icon” option.
On Samsung Galaxy phones, how to set videos as live wallpapers?
Samsung Galaxy phones allow you to set videos as live wallpapers without third-party apps. Follow these steps to do so:
- In the Gallery app, open the video you want to develop as a wallpaper.
- In the bottom-right corner, tap the three-dot menu button.
- Choose ‘Set as wallpaper’ from the menu.
- You will be given two options: ‘Lock screen’ and ‘Call background’. Tap the ‘lock screen’ option to set the video as a lock screen wallpaper. If your video is longer than 15 seconds, you will have to crop it in the next step.
- For cropping or applying wallpaper, tap the scissors icon on the video in the following window.
Unfortunately, you can’t set a video as a live wallpaper on the home screen. For that, you’ll need a third-party app. Many options are available, thankfully.
