Germany, guess I’ll have to wait for the global or EU update
Wtf ?! I just got that for 42 day xdd
Is this a MIUI 11 feature? I have a RN8 Pro with MIUI 10 and there’s no option to do this
Nope , the battery standby is still great for me. I lose like only 4% more than usual.
?
I never even see my block screen, straight from black screen to unlocked through fingerprint

https://c.mi.com/thread-2157750-1-0.html OnePlus
https://c.mi.com/thread-2466718-1-0.html iPhone 11
Is there any way I can get the update?
Thats kinda lot
Provide the link for the video man..
Not true. Custom live wallpaper can run on miui10. I was able to get it working on lock and home screen on miMix3(5g) and the regular Xiaomi themes app
Why I cant make mute video in wallpaper
GOALS.
I can pretty much assure you that we can’t set ANY VIDEO as your LOCKSCREEN WALLPAPER until MIUI 11.
Before MiUI 11, we were only able to set live wallpapers for Homescreen.
Drive link?
Yeah, it works on the home screen. But not sure about the loop thing though.
Why? I’m going to have a smooth slightly moving wallpaper on the lockscreen to make it a bit more dynamic
Damn, I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks!
It will totally worth it. Shut up and take my %15.
Hmm, the loop works on homescreen but not on lockscreen ….??
And, is there any video wallpaper that is truly a looped one? These just make me hickup, because they jump to beginning when they reach end , and it’s ugly.
[here it is.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dIFATFMhFaa5kEQ1Yqc033ZTaCsxhtNP/view?usp=drivesdk)
Quick question, does video wallpaper also work on home screen, and does it loop automatically?
How do you download a YouTube video?
My Mi 9t pro is still running on miui10
It does loops
After you set a video file as wallpaper with the Gallery app, you can use any 3rd party wall.
Highly recommend: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afkettler.earth
Post the video link please.
No, the starship launch is better: https://imgur.com/a/SndkLPq
That’s Sick
And how does one do this? (Mi9t global build)
Jealous.
Overdoing it
Yes you can
Just installed it 😀 Thanks!
Was commenting the same from my RN7 yesterday. After commenting went to check the update page. Clicked on check updates. Booom. Got MIUI 11.
Settings>About phone>System update>check. (Mi 9t, should be the same). Not sure how to manually update it
On contrary. Makes sense only on lockscreen. And on home screen , you get to make it overcrowded with information not being able to recognize your icons.
Why? 🙁
[here you go.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dIFATFMhFaa5kEQ1Yqc033ZTaCsxhtNP/view?usp=drivesdk)
Wow thanks, I would probably never knew that I had this feature since I use Google Photos as my gallery.
Requires MIUI 11.
For those who are still on the MIIU. You can do this with any video file. I used a HDR video from youtube.
Here are the instructions.
Open File Manager make sure that you are showing hidden folders by clicking the three dots on the top right just under you storage info.
Then click on the MIUI folder and create a folder called. .videowallpaper Don’t forget the period in front of the name.
Now just copy any video file into that directory.
Open your wallpaper settings and click on the smiley face on the bottom right. Then click wallpapers. You do not have to have a Mi account. Then click My wallpaper movies. Your video will show up there and you can add it to the lock screen as well.
Its a bit of a workaround but once you have it setup its a lot easier to add to it. All you have to do is save the video file to the .videowallpaper directory and it will show up under My wallpaper movies.
Hope that helps.
I’ll try upload mine and link it here
Does it work with gif ?
No mention. 🙂
India and you?
Does anyone here know how to update mi 9t pro to miui11?
Copy the url and paste it in the comment
Consoomer
Shouldn’t it use up about as much energy as any moving wallpaper?
I want here’s johnny scene, but I’m too lazy to cut it xD

I was able to get lock screen and home screen with the default Xiaomi themes app in miui10.

For me it doesn’t. Is there anything specific you did?
I’ve got no gifs to try it out.
I’d take the scene from American Psycho where Batemen is winking and pointing at himself in the mirror as he’s banging the hooker.
That’s ok. Chill.
Fuck you
Make it as a seperate post mate. Much appreciated.
There are few apps. Search it in play store.
Same boat, but we’re close, you can jump to the beta of it if needed, but there’s not too much reason to at this point.
[For anyone who’s asking for the Marvel intro.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dIFATFMhFaa5kEQ1Yqc033ZTaCsxhtNP/view?usp=drivesdk)
How?? Battery management is really trash on MIUI 11
by Uncle Lithium
Fuck me, my bad.
I used it on Zedge in miui 10, please don’t lie, I invite everyone to try it out (not getting paid tho)
Unlucky. Your time will come
I just tryed and we can’t
Still no updates available. Sad.
Post this on r/marvelstudios for karma
Go to Miui forums, and register. You can then search and download piles of animated wallpapers.
Then you put them in /MIUI/.videowallpaper/ directory … they should be *.m4v files with certain resolution. I got ones for iPhone and for OnePlus.
Already available with zedge since android 6, c’mon dude
I am using the reddit boost app on redmi note 8. You can download gifs that have been shot vertically in .m4v format and use them for animated wallpapers. Though be careful the is a sub called verticalgifs that is very NSFW.
How do i set it?
You can, there’s an option on the top right.
K20 pro on india got MIUI 11 way back.
Then short videos for this…3 second! I wish see this in my R8NP…
God bless <3
Thanks a lot
Thanks man
This is the only thing holding me back
Cannot help you with the MIUI11 update though. 🙁
LOL.
Roger :3
What region are you in?
Go to Gallery > Select any desired video > Press the three dots at the bottom > choose set as video wallpaper. Simple.
I’ve been on reddit for a year, and i still don’t know how to post links in comment, please teach me how.
🙁
Nope, although it is not hard to do it you know?
Make a guide please! Looks amazing.
What phone are you using?
Wow! Gave me the idea to use the new Star Wars intro (ala Marvel) before The Mandalorian!
i downloaded one plus pack but when apply the homescreen and block screen turns black and dont work the wallpaper i have a redmi note 5 with miui 11
With great power comes great battery consumption.
For now I have shower rat – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fblay5r1r9s
Make sure you get permission from the content creator. Then search for Youtube video downloader you will find several sites that can do this.
I prefer GIF. Well loop GIF. And it work on both screen lock and home screen.
Yes see above comment
So your telling me that you can keep any wallpaper as lockscreen live wallpaper? Like having a video of myself walking down th road as my phone’s lockscreen live wallpaper?
For those that doesn’t like marvel could use r/cinemagraphs for more footage
I have it on lockscreen (not the Marvel one but one of the preinstalled ones) and it does nothing to battery life, but is nice to see when screen turns on for notification and such.
Disable video sound I think
Yes, but not very much.
Thanks mate.
Yeah, MIUI11 brings this new feature.
It works only when on launcher which is tooo less
I mean it would be like 10 mins in a whole day
MI NOTE 7. MIUI 11.
Oh? I didn’t know that. I’ll go and try find some with resolution good enough.
Does It drain battery 🤔
And that’s a great choice.
I don’t know how to to Post the link on the comments.
Thanks so much
HOES
🙂
And i was trying to say, now this is a built-in feature in MiUI, without using any external apps. Can you set a video as a live wallpaper before MIUI 11, without using an external app?
This is for [Non-MIUI 11 users I suppose.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/dygpoa/putting_the_new_feature_to_set_videos_as_live/f81m0d7?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
No problem mate. 🙂
I wasn’t aware of this. Thanks mate
RIP the battery
Still no MIUI update for me on RN7 🙁
🙁
Yep those are the steps I used about 1 month ago.
