The selected video will be applied as a loop video on the lock screen every time you wake up your Samsung phone. This keeps the home screen wallpaper unaffected but if you want the same video as the wallpaper on the home screen as well then follow our next method.
Third-Party App to Apply Video as Wallpaper on Samsung Phone
