How to Make a Video your Wallpaper on Android

Live wallpapers used to be fancy and special, but they are quite common now. There are plenty of live wallpapers on the Google Play Store and you can even find them on desktop operating systems via third-party developers. If they are so ordinary, you can only imagine that the public demands something fresh.

While some set GIFs as wallpapers, others want to set videos as wallpapers on their Android device. In case of ever looking for video wallpapers on the Google Play Store, you must have found plenty of app options to choose from.
