How to set a video wallpaper on the Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy Note 8
Setting a video as a wallpaper is exactly the same process as setting a picture as the wallpaper. You simply select the video you want, click on the three-dot settings menu in the top-right corner, and then select “Set as wallpaper.”
If your video is more than 15 seconds long, you will have to trim it down first. Also, if your video isn’t filmed in the same aspect ratio as your display, you may need to crop the video before setting it as the wallpaper to ensure the correct part is shown.
If you don’t want to use one of your own videos, you’re able to instead choose one from Samsung via the Samsung Themes app. Just head to the “Wallpapers” section, then click on “Video Lockscreen” to be shown the selection. Unfortunately, right now there aren’t a ton of options available.
